County seeks additional funds for new St. Pete innovation center

Pinellas County is seeking an additional $3.8 million to help fund a portion of the new 45,000-square-foot innovation center incubator in St. Pete.

The Tampa Bay Innovation Center, which will be renamed ARK Innovation Center, will be the first in Pinellas County purposely constructed to focus on entrepreneurs. It will be located on 2.5 acres donated by the City of St. Petersburg at 4th Street and 11th Avenue South in the Innovation District.

St. Pete Opera returns with Mozart, marriage – and mayhem

St. Petersburg Opera Company’s 15th season wasn’t all that it could have been. The ongoing pandemic scrubbed an entire well-planned schedule of fully-produced operas at the Palladium Theater, and forced artistic director Mark Sforzini and colleagues to improvise.

They did well, under the circumstances, with a series of outdoor, open-air “greatest hits” shows, and in April the company moved back into the Palladium, albeit with smaller productions and a well-spaced audience. Toes-in-the-water stuff.
