The city of Tampa should throw out the bids to redevelop the Rome Yard. The selection of a developer has been tainted, and thereâs no sense in allowing bad appearances to discredit a project that will transform West Tampa. Starting over will cost the city time, and thereâs no guarantee what developers or proposals might come forward. But thereâs every reason to believe that developers will remain interested in the site, especially if a do-over affirms public confidence in the cityâs procurement process.
