Former CENTCOM commander wants USF to educate officers

Retired Marine Gen. Kenneth F. “Frank” McKenzie, former commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), decided to continue his decorated career in public service at the University of South Florida.

McKenzie concluded the opening day of the St. Petersburg Conference on World Affairs (CWA) by announcing plans to establish a nationwide graduate degree program for military officers at the school. The 11th annual event, which began Tuesday and runs through Friday at USF St. Petersburg, provides a forum for international experts to educate, engage and empower community stakeholders.

Is the Gas Plant redevelopment’s benefits package enough?

After six meetings, including a five-hour finale, a committee decided that community benefits provided by redeveloping 65 acres of prime St. Petersburg real estate warranted the associated public subsidies.

A nine-person Community Benefits Advisory Council debated the Historic Gas Plant District project's benefits package - and several proposed revisions - until 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. The group, encompassing eight appointees and City Council Chair Deborah Figgs-Sanders, approved the proposal in a 7-2 vote.
