S5 E1 | The Hidden Cost of Growth in Tampa with Garrett Greco

Tampa Bay isn't just growing, it's being actively shaped, and few people see that process more clearly than Garrett Greco. In this episode of the "Money" Market Podcast, host Owen LaFave sits down with the Tampa Bay Developer podcast host, real estate investor, and fifth-generation Tampanian to unpack what's really driving our region's explosive evolution. Garrett shares how zoning codes, impact fees, and policy decisions quietly influence everything from housing affordability to your morning coffee shop. They dive into marquee projects like Gasworx, Water Street, and Tampa Heights and why quality, history, and community buy-in matter more than ever. Garrett opens up about fear, risk, and why ambitious people are betting big on Tampa Bay. From podcasting as civic conversations to the realities of modern development, this episode pulls back the curtain on how cities are actually built. If you care about Tampa's future, or just wonder why things cost what they cost, this one's a must listen!   WATCH NEXT: "NOTHING'S MORE PERSONAL THAN BUSINESS" W/ BANK OF TAMPA PRESIDENT COREY NEIL https://youtu.be/WVc4CODFf-U  SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz_7yNs7dOuyKApAkohqJIQ   Follow The "Money" Market Podcast here: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6e7E0DaJZQkuw339G7nGI4?si=27d047641a1d4b17 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-money-market-podcast/id1733948143 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneymarketpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneymarketpodcast Website: https://moneymarketpodcast.com   The Bank of Tampa | Member FDIC
