Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn is back to work after an overwhelming win in Tuesday's election.
Buckhorn has already outlined a full agenda for his final four years in office.
"We've got a lot of big legacy projects," he said.
One of his biggest priorities will be transforming downtown Tampa.
"Just in the next 12 months, we will probably break ground on four new residential towers and four new midrise towers," Buckhorn said.
The Riverwalk will also be finished by the end of March.
"I think it's going to be busy, I think it's going to be a draw for private capital to come and do more and more projects, because the river will become the focal point for everything we've done," he said.
With the future University of South Florida medical school and a new look for Channelside, Buckhorn said the landscape will be quite different by 2019.
But the mayor said he's not just focusing on downtown. The city is continuing to invest a lot of time and resources in high-crime neighborhoods like Sulphur Springs. City crews have already knocked down 70 abandoned houses and built new single family homes.
"That was a neighborhood that was on life support," Buckhorn said. "We're not done yet, but it's a whole lot better than what it was."
Buckhorn said there's a lot to do over the next four years, but he is committed to getting the job done.
"I will die trying," Buckhorn said. "I may have a lot more gray hair and a few more ulcers, but I think we are going to be able to get a lot of this accomplished before I leave here."
Buckhorn said his ultimate goal is to leave Tampa in better shape than it was before he took office.
His inauguration will be held in April. Due to term limits, this will be Buckhorn's final term as mayor.
