The Waterfront Parks Foundation Inc., a nonprofit that works to protect public parks and green space along St. Petersburg’s shoreline, has a submitted a letter of support for a $30 million plan to redevelop the St. Petersburg Municipal Marina.
The proposal has been the subject of controversy in recent weeks because, if approved, it would cede control of the marina to a private company, Safe Harbor Development, which is based in Knoxville, Tenn. The Waterfront Parks Foundation was originally skeptical of the plan because of the changes it would bring to Demens Landing.
