Commissioners back exploring privately funded ice rink at Mosey development
Summary
The board unanimously approved exploring the feasibility of a privately funded ice rink at the Mosey site, with commissioners highlighting potential partnerships with the Tampa Bay Lightning and USF and the site's entertainment amenities.
Hillsborough County commissioners on Sept. 3 authorized staff to evaluate the potential for a privately funded ice rink at the Mosey development site.
Commissioner Chris Bowles introduced the idea, describing the site’s ongoing redevelopment and potential synergies with nearby facilities, including university and professional sports partners. Supporters noted the Mosey plan includes an entertainment wing and hotels that could complement an ice facility. One commissioner pointed to models where teams partner with municipalities and private sponsors to operate training and community rinks.
The board approved the motion to explore the concept unanimously. No financing or construction commitments were made; the action was limited to evaluating feasibility and potential partnerships.
