The ECC made several recommendations, and the City of Tampa is in the process of instituting those, including the implementation of Accela to allow for permitting to be done online. Through the (Invision Tampa ) plan, Buckhorn outlined his commitment to creating a more connected, livable city by focusing on our underutilized riverfront, generating a strong mix-use pedestrian environment, building links between our neighborhoods, and developing an urban pattern that supports transit. To that end, he has invested in the urban core, working to restore the street grid, foster new retail opportunities, and worked to attract new high density residential development such as the Residences on the Riverwalk and Skyhouse Tampa. Mayor Buckhorn also secured a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to complete the Tampa Riverwalk, which has been in the making for more than 40 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Tampa mayors recall challenges in creating the Riverwalk )〕 Once complete, the Riverwalk will generate new possibilities for economic development along the Hillsborough River.
