New partners join potential Gas Plant development teams

St. Petersburg has yet to receive any additional Historic Gas Plant District proposals since formally opening a submission window Jan. 4. However, two potential redevelopment teams have expanded their rosters.

ARK Ellison Horus announced Monday that multiple national companies, including Moss Construction, technical consultant Jacobs and planning firm Kimley-Horn, have formally expressed interest in partnering on the generational project. Mayor Ken Welch’s administration is currently considering the group’s $6.8 billion vision, which triggered the land disposition process.

St. Pete Athletic’s opening benefits the surrounding area

City leaders, top-ranked pickleball pros and dozens of local stakeholders celebrated St. Pete Athletic formally opening to the public Saturday. However, the self-billed urban country club’s impact extends far beyond the facility.

The 50,000-square-foot social and paddle club replaced a long-vacant warehouse at 680 28th St. S. Mayor Ken Welch noted that the South St. Petersburg Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) would directly benefit from a significant increase in property tax collections.
