In his first year in office, St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch axed a project that would have created a Moffitt Cancer Center campus in downtown. At the time, he said the proposal didn’t include enough affordable housing.
Last year, City Council approved a plan to instead build two 31-story towers with a total of 824 apartments, none of which will be designated as affordable housing.
Now, ARK Ellison Horus has added Moffitt Cancer Center as a partner in its redevelopment proposal for the Historic Gas Plant District. The group is one of nine that have pitched projects to the city.
