St. Pete grant funding plunges 83% this year

St. Petersburg, still recovering from a devastating hurricane season while preparing for another, has nearly $31.3 million less grant funding than it did through March 2024.

The gap will likely widen - the current fiscal year began in October 2024 under the previous presidential administration. Federal leaders have since gutted funding for several initiatives, including $882 billion through a now-defunct Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) infrastructure resiliency program.
