St. Petersburg community members and housing experts weigh in on redevelopment proposals for the site of Tropicana Field ahead of an expected decision on Jan. 30.
The mayor of St. Petersburg still has a couple of weeks to decide which of four proposals he will choose for redevelopment of the Historic Gas Plant District, where the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field sits. The city's chamber of commerce, though, is ready to make its choice.
The St. Petersburg mayor and city leaders are again reviewing proposals to redevelop the 86-acre Tropicana Field site. Mayor Ken Welch scrapped plans from two previously chosen developers over the summer. Now, he has four groups on the table, including previous finalist Sugar Hill Community Partners and global real estate company Hines with the Tampa Bay Rays.
