We are telling the private sector that the city of Tampa and the Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority have no more money to put into this.

We would certainly like to make a run at it. The project certainly deserves another strong look.

We're very encouraged that there is this much interest. Normally, these companies don't even consider a project that's less than $500 million.

This is just one other thing that has to be done to complete this project.

America's just been slow at catching on. Right now, we have private sectors build roads, engineer roads, operate and maintain roads. What a P3 concession does is add the finance component.
