CLEARWATER - Mayor Frank Hibbard stood along the harbor beneath the new Memorial Causeway Bridge, staring at the waterway dotted with sailboats and power boats.
"Right now, there is nobody down here. Not one person," he said, shaking his head. "It is one of the most beautiful spots in Tampa Bay. That has got to change."
Hibbard thinks that it will, through several developments that are under way or scheduled in the listless downtown that is the gateway to Clearwater Beach. He also is pondering the possibility of a restaurant-retail complex on the land now occupied by Harborview Center overlooking the waterway.
