Has Rockstar stated that Port Gellhorn is based on Florida's west Gulf coast (Pensacola, Tampa Bay), or is that community inference?

WHY IT'S OPEN
What Rockstar has and hasn't said
Rockstar describes Port Gellhorn as Leonida's forgotten coast — a once-popular vacation spot in tourism decline with a malt-liquor / painkiller / truck-stop economy. The Florida west Gulf coast (Pensacola, Tampa Bay area) parallel circulating in coverage and community channels is inference based on visual and tonal cues. As of this entry's creation, no first-party Rockstar / Take-Two source reviewed by this publication names any specific real-world location as the inspiration.
