Years back, several key Profaci/Colombo bigwigs, namely capos Enrico (Harry) Fontana and Nicoline (Peanuts) Sorrentino migrated down to Tampa and semi-retired there. I know that Fontana held a lucrative interest in a dock-warehousing business on the Tampa docks since at least the early 1960s. And I know that the old Profaci and Trafficante families were also very close. So I'm sure those factors played into it as well.
