Can St. Pete afford its Gas Plant redevelopment contribution?

According to Bank of America, Raymond James Financial and city administrators, St. Petersburg is well-positioned to contribute $287.5 million toward the Historic Gas Plant District’s over $6.5 billion redevelopment.

However, some council members remain unconvinced of the city’s ability to service that debt over three decades of economic uncertainty without raising taxes or taking much-needed money from the general fund. That was the overarching theme at the May 8 development agreement workshop, mostly excluding plans for a $1.3 billion ballpark.
