The Tampa Bay Boom, Inc. today announced a new phase of its economic development initiative aimed at revitalizing downtown St. Petersburg and driving sustainable regional growth. The effort is led by Dr. R. Brian Ligon, CEO of The Tampa Bay Boom, Inc., who brings decades of experience in healthcare, business, and community development to the project.
Under Ligon’s leadership, the organization is coordinating efforts to expand infrastructure, attract new businesses, and stimulate economic opportunities that align with St. Petersburg’s long-term development plan. The initiative builds on a legacy of local investment and reflects a unified vision for the future of Tampa Bay’s economic landscape.
In addition to his leadership at Tampa Bay Boom, Inc., Ligon founded the Federal Reserve Bank of Tampa Bay in 2021, an institution dedicated to supporting health, learning, enterprise, and development across the region. Together, these efforts represent a coordinated push toward innovation, sustainability, and financial empowerment.
“Our mission is to build for the future—creating spaces, opportunities, and institutions that endure,” said Dr. R. Brian Ligon. “The Tampa Bay community thrives when health, business, and innovation work together to create lasting progress.”
Ligon also leads Ligon Dental Group, a family-founded practice established in 1978, where he continues to advance precision dentistry through technology and patient-centered systems. His multidisciplinary perspective, spanning medicine, business, and civic leadership, informs his approach to both enterprise and community development.
