The group will gather public input to shape a development framework for a planned 28-acre \u201cCreators\u2019 District\u201d just west of the Warehouse Arts District.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The effort comes 100 years after John Nolen\u2019s 1925 plan for St. Petersburg, which emphasized thoughtful, people-centered urban design. The Lafrate family, which owns the property, says it hopes to build a neighborhood rooted in creativity and collaboration where residents play a central role in shaping it \u201cfrom the ground up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attendees are invited to share ideas, react to early concepts, and collaborate with planners, artists and project partners on the effort. The event features interactive workshops with guided design activities, live music, chef pop-ups and artist showcases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sessions are free and open to all. The event offers free parking at a lot adjacent to 28th Street South, \u201cjust beyond the wall\u201d that is visible upon entrance. It is also easily accessible by walking or bicycling down the Pinellas Trail, which is located one block north of the entrance. Anyone using public transit can take the No. 7 or No. 9 bus to reach the property.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fit.edu\/?utm_source=FloridaPolitics&amp;utm_medium=digital&amp;utm_campaign=FloridaPolitics&amp;utm_content=homepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-756323 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/20250658_FINAL_FloridaPolitics_728x90.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Got ideas?
