Project Description:

A. Tampa Port Authority Strategic Plan
Developed the Port's first strategic plan to address market, policy, business, and asset management components needed to grow the Port’s annual operating revenue from $13 million to $40 million operation over a ten year period. The plan involved diversifying the Port’s business into cruise and various cargo types beyond the bulk business that dominated. The plan was successful and the Port’s revenues have exceeded the targets.

B. Five Year Strategic Plan Update
Recently assisted the Port Director and his staff in the development and refinement of a Five Year Strategic Plan Update. The plan will guide market efforts and Capital Improvement programming for infrastructure.

PRIME led the consultant team on the first strategic plan and later worked with Port Management staff on the development of the 5 year plan update. This plan was the first comprehensive evaluation of Port real estate with a business plan based on Activity Centers to guide $200 million capital investment. Introduced a return-on-investment practice to evaluate potential CIP proposals on each Activity Center, which consists of a berth, marginal improvements, backlands and structures, all viewed as a functional unit.
