I believe the office is downtown. (A few blocks north of the airport). However, I'm looking at about 50% of my time (or more) will be spent traveling.

The airport is several miles west of downtown Tampa. It is right by Tampa bay. Easy commute over the bay if you want to live in Pinellas County. ( Clearwater, St, Pete, etc. )

Traveling in and out of the area, or around the area?

If you're traveling in the area, then you can plan your commute for hours that aren't as bad.

My husband has a couple of employees that either start early and leave early, or start late and leave late, in order to avoid the "bad times" on the bridges.

If it's traveling in and out of town, there's no better airport to use than Tampa Airport, IMHO.

And there's the Veteran's Parkway (maybe has a different name now) that connects the airport area with north Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando. You can get from Brooksville or Spring Hill to Tampa airport in under an hour with little or no traffic until you get near the airport (but it's a toll road.)
