2.2.5 Competitive Sites The Hillsborough County Economic Development Department has designated a number of “competitive sites” for economic development purposes. As state d on the Hillsborough County website, “a competitive site is a location in Hillsborough County that has been identified as having specific real estate attributes that make it attractive to sizable industrial or office development. These attributes include size, zoning, land use, development entitlements, development complexity, and supporting infrastructure.” The County’s Competitive Sites program identifies these potential sites and crafts policies to encourage industry, investment and development of these locations. There are sixteen (16) competitive sites in the study area, ten (10) of which are planned development (PD), one (1) is manufacturing, and five (5) are light industrial (LI). The planned development sites are mostly mixed-use and DRIs. Table 8 and Table 9 give more information on the competitive sites in the study area. Maps of the competitive sites and DRIs overlaid on competitive sites are available in Figure 23 and Figure 24.
