What People Say About URP Advisors

“Travis joined the city in January 2022 as the administrator of development and economic opportunity. She leaves fingerprints all over from her short but wide-ranging tenure. She oversaw the addition of more than $4 billion in development value to the city, the city said Thursday, and secured $100 million for affordable housing.

The $38 million renovation of the Tampa Convention Center was created under Travis’ leadership. She also led the effort to acquire Memorial Park Cemetery, one of the city’s oldest African American cemeteries. Just last week she unveiled the city’s Economic Dashboard to the City Council, an online tool displaying dozens of metrics indicative of the economic climate in Tampa and across the region.”
