Jason Busto is a fifth-generation Tampeño, a London School of Economics-trained trilingual world traveler and COO of his family-owned plumbing business.
They don’t call him the “unofficial mayor of West Tampa” for nothing. He’s been a passionate advocate for aggressive redevelopment of Tampa’s urban core in a style that would be closer to the great cities of Europe. He envisions 2- to 3-story residential buildings lining major roadways from downtown to Westshore. He’s also a historic preservationist, fighting to keep former cigar factories from demolition.
