Comparing four visions for the Historic Gas Plant District

The City of St. Petersburg hosted a town hall Thursday, giving the public a chance to hear pitches from the four final developers competing to redevelop the Historic Gas Plant District: Pinellas County Housing Authority, Foundation Vision Partners, The Burg Bid and ARK–Ellison–Horus.

All four proposals take a fundamentally different approach, ranging from affordable housing–first development, flexible city-controlled phasing, community investment models and an innovation-driven hub.
