ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The St. Petersburg City Council voted this week to give an extension to the developer of Tangerine Plaza.

It’s a project in south St. Pete that would include affordable housing and a grocery store.
The city gave the Sugar Hill Group 18 months to secure funding for the project and come up with a plan.
But the group says it needs another 12 months.
One City Council member raised concerns about the lack of secured funding, but representatives from the city and county were on hand to lay out what it’s going to take to get the plan approved and funded within the 12 months.
The agreement would’ve expired on Jan. 2. Now, the group has another 12 months.
Developers say they hope to break ground late next year.
