ST. PETERSBURG SHINES: DEVELOPMENT UPDATES 2016 PLANS ADVANCED IN 2016 South St. Petersburg CRA: The city launched five Tax Increment Financing (TIF) grant programs in spring 2016, awarding nearly $400,000 to small and local businesses for commercial site, building interior, and multifamily residential property improvements. In 2017, as investment in property in the CRA grows, the city expects to receive roughly $1 million through the TIF program and will launch business, housing, and workforce development programs, in addition to housing and commercial. Downtown Waterfront Signature Project: New St. Petersburg Pier District Construction will begin in early 2017 on the 34-acre waterfront site. Elements of the plan include a welcome plaza, market promenade, education center, pier head, family park with splash pad and eco gardens, and an active waterfront edge.

Warehouse Arts District and Deuces Live Joint Action Plan: The Warehouse Arts District and the 22nd Street Deuces Live Corridor is an emerging area and one of the most culturally vibrant, historically significant areas in the city. A joint framework plan is underway to develop recommendations for streetscape, open space, branding, and wayfinding, as well as programs for events and public improvement investments. Two major transportation initiatives launched this year bike share and the Cross-Bay Ferry expanding options for residents and visitors to get around St. Petersburg and connect to Tampa.

Tropicana Field Redevelopment Recognized as one of America s hottest cities to live and visit, St. Petersburg s tremendous growth is impossible to overlook. 2016 set a new record for total construction value in the city - $654 million with residential development dominating. As the city s population nears 260,000, median age continues to decrease while median household income increases along with the number of residents with advanced education degrees. 2016 brought major investment across all areas of the city from South St. Petersburg and the Skyway Marina District to Gateway and Tyrone, setting St. Petersburg up for a bright future in 2017.
