Tampa Premium Outlet Mall (built in pasco) is set to open next week. The Florida Highway patrol will be on the outlook for traffic bottlenecks. Let me be the first to suggest looking at 75/56. Is a traffic "Tsunami" being too kind to describe what is coming? I can't wait to see the reports on the evening news sitting in my easy chair 30 miles away.

LOL
This Flight Festival couple months ago was a good practice No wonder highway patrol will be around this time. Get ready for a major traffic issue! Avoid I-75 at all costs, look for alternative ways to get home is you live close to the mall. Or consider not leaving your home at all during grand opening day.

Mall hours are longer and the parking lot for the mall can hold more cars than the Flight show had to offer and the Flight show was only for a short time frame.

Many shoppers will wait for other days than the first day as the mall is expected to last more than one day

Of course more traffic will be attacked from now on but it also created 800 new jobs which is great as well as a lot of income for the area so I will take what will come and in the future more jobs will be added as the roads will be changed to a better solution.

Therefore I will look at the cons and the pros and take it as it is and after a decade of waiting and having an empty piece of land and now an outlet mall which saves gas money and time to drive to Orlando is worth it.

Some home owners still remember and perhaps the area was as it was 20 years ago or even longer ago and adjusted and now like the benefits they have of having shops, more work and other things closer by and that offset the negatives.

This will be similar and just for the people who only see the negative side it will be horrible and for all others it is just a hurdle that will be overcome and fixed
