The Albert Whitted Airport, situated on prime waterfront property in St. Petersburg, may face an uncertain future as the city looks to potentially redevelop the 119-acre site.
Earlier this year, St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch announced he instructed city staff to further study the economic and community impacts of the city-owned airfield, which also houses charter flight schools and maintenance operators. Welch stated his goal is to identify the best uses for the site through the lens of equity, business and the needs of the community.
