Council approves reallocation for South St. Pete housing

As part of continued efforts to mitigate the housing crisis, St. Petersburg is using funding earmarked for other programs to increase its stock of affordable units and revitalize existing properties.

During Thursday’s meeting, city council members unanimously approved amending the fiscal year 2022 project plan for the South St. Petersburg Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) to reallocate $4,640,158 in funding. The money stems from three categories:

St. Pete celebrates decorated WWII vet’s 100th birthday	Places This Week: Topgolf underway; BLM building demo’d
City approves DevMar’s planned 20-story tower	USGS remains one of St. Pete’s best-kept secrets

Vintage St. Pete: The Blackthorn tragedy

As ships go, the United States Coast Guard cutter Blackthorn was diminutive: Just 180 feet from bow to stern, and 37 feet abeam, with a displacement tonnage (weight) of 984 tons.

By comparison, the tanker Capricorn, which rammed and sank the World War II-era buoy tender January 28, 1980 in Southern Tampa Bay, was a leviathan, weighing more than 14,000 tons, and stretching 605 feet lengthwise, and 75 feet from port side to starboard.
