Steinocher, president of the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce, said he wants to ensure the entire community helps determine the city’s future. He unveiled plans to form a Grow Together Leadership Alliance to city council members at Thursday’s Economic & Workforce Development Committee meeting.
