“From the beginning, our focus has been on bringing the right public and private partners to the table and building a path forward for this important property,” he said in a statement. “Today’s groundbreaking reflects what can happen when everyone works together with a common vision for the community.”
St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch, Pinellas County commissioners Brian Scott, Rene Flowers and Kathleen Peters, and St. Pete City Council member Copley Gerdes, as well as other community leaders and project partners, attended Monday’s groundbreaking ceremony.
