City Council members approved an incentive package to help ensure Foot Locker selects St. Petersburg as its next corporate home in the brief window between Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
The council voted 7-2 to provide up to $475,000 to the Fortune 500 company at an Oct. 3 meeting. Footlocker announced Aug. 28 that it planned to relocate its global headquarters from New York City to St. Petersburg.
She’s a seasoned marathon runner who’s competed all over the country; perhaps that’s why Monica Kile is imminently qualified to conduct walking tours all over the mean streets and sidewalks of historic St. Petersburg. She certainly has the stamina.
Actually, there’s much more to it than that. Armed with a Master’s degree in Florida Studies from the University of South Florida, Kile is an expert on early 20th Century St. Pete and its celebrated architecture.
