Food truck academy set to launch new entrepreneurs

The City of St. Petersburg is moving forward with plans for a Food Truck Academy, a new program designed to help aspiring entrepreneurs start and sustain mobile food businesses.

City officials recently issued a solicitation seeking a vendor to develop and deliver the academy, which is envisioned as both a workforce development initiative and a small-business incubator. The program's stated goal is to create an accessible pathway to entrepreneurship while supporting job creation and neighborhood economic development.

County approves federal funding for waterway projects

At its Tuesday meeting, the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved an Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program grant agreement with the U.S Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service.

This will help restore and stabilize various channels, including Curlew Creek, Bee Branch, Channel R and Joe’s Creek, throughout unincorporated Pinellas County. These waterways were damaged during Hurricane Milton in 2024.
