St. Petersburg officials will electrify new developments

For the third time since 2018, city administrators presented a plan to council members to require new commercial and residential projects to feature electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.

Council members, acting as the Health, Energy, Resiliency and Sustainability (HERS) Committee, agreed that the city should implement EV-related coding changes based on market forecasts. The proposed ordinance would apply to any new project with 20 or more parking spaces - including affordable housing.

Eighty-four percent of recorded music revenue comes from streaming and digital downloads, by far the biggest number on the scale.
