Tampa, FL -- You get the feeling if Amazon.com were single, the Hillsborough County Commission would be getting down on its knee to propose. 

"I think what we are approving today is a very small dowry a potential great corporate community marriage," said Commissioner Kevin Beckner.

Board chair Ken Hagan agreed. "This is an outstanding opportunity," he said.

And County Commissioner Sandy Murman likened it it to a hurricane with Amazon's feeder-bands attracting more businesses, creating a mega-storm of job growth for our region.

"Wi-Fi will be a draw, particularly for the thousands of visitors who come down to the parks throughout our urban core, and a great amenity for the residents who live around them," said Mayor Bob Buckhorn.
