Tampa City Council opts not to impose a 1 a.m. shutdown on Ybor businesses

In response to a recent tragic shooting in Ybor City, Tampa City Council members aimed to address the issue of rising violence.

During a council meeting, Council member Gwen Henderson proposed the idea of enforcing a 1 a.m. closing time for all businesses in Ybor. This proposal faced strong resistance from bar owners and their staff, who attended the Thursday meeting to express their objections.
