Redevelopment plan unveiled for YMCA property in St. Pete

A major redevelopment project has been proposed for the 11-acre YMCA property in St. Petersburg's Grand Central District. 

The project includes the sale of just over 4.5 acres of the Jim & Heather Gills YMCA property on the west side of downtown St. Petersburg. The existing 55,000-square-foot facility will undergo extensive renovations, which will be funded by the proceeds from the land sale, according to YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg. A notable addition will be a lighted artificial turf field along 1st Avenue S.

Preservation group wants to buy 14 undeveloped Tarpon acres

Pinellas County has committed $1.5 million to support the purchase of the 14-acre West Klosterman Preserve in Tarpon Springs, a parcel of undeveloped land adjoining the already existing 76-acre Mariner Point Management Area (MPMA).

Pinellas County Schools currently owns the land, and planned to sell it to housing developers before the West Klosterman Preservation Group stepped in. The 501c3 nonprofit needs to raise an additional $800,000 by September to go through with the purchase.
