Local leaders plan to reconnect South St. Pete, downtown

When construction of Interstate 175 began in the late 1970s, South St. Petersburg neighborhoods were bifurcated. According to city reports, nearly 4,000 people - and 2,700 African American families and businesses - were displaced.

Local leaders now hope to rectify past mistakes. Congresswoman Kathy Castor joined Mayor Ken Welch in the interstate's shadow Tuesday at Campbell Park to unveil plans for the Reconnecting the Historic Gas Plant District project.

Voodoo Brewing to open on 4th Street

A craft beer enthusiast has inked a lease for the shuttered building at 220 4th St. N. where he plans to open the area's first Voodoo Brewing Co. location.

For months, a banner has stretched across the 1925 building reading "Voodoo Brewing now hiring," but the doors remained locked, and the lights weren't on.
