Beyond Baseball: New perspectives and possibilities for St. Pete’s 86 most contemplated acres.
Presented by the Tampa Bay Times and the Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg
Now that the deal between the Tampa Bay Rays and the city of St. Petersburg has fallen through, we are presented with a new opportunity — one that invites all of us to reimagine the future of this important space together. What are the possibilities for place-making? How do we, as a community, make the most of this opportunity in a way that honors the past and positions us for future-focused growth? What should this space include? Who should it serve? How do we ensure equity, accessibility and sustainability, not only in its development but in the way it functions as a new anchor in our city’s landscape? #TBT #tampabay #foundationforhealthystpete #tampabaytimes #tampabay #radio #radio #historicgasplant #tropsite
