Inside Moffitt Cancer Center’s $300M St. Petersburg campus

St. Petersburg is poised to see the first-ever Moffitt Cancer Center in its backyard, which will bring a caliber of medical expertise and research as part of a new planned development.

The H. Lee Moffitt Cancer and Research Institute team presented its plans Friday evening during the first Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) Advisory Committee public meeting. The committee was formed to review the social and community impact of major projects receiving significant public funding through the CBA program that St. Pete approved late last year.

Diamond discusses campaign suspension, redistricting battle

After spending the last six years representing his hometown, state Rep. Ben Diamond suspended his congressional campaign Thursday, falling victim to a redistricting map that splits St. Petersburg in two.

His announcement came less than a month after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a personally crafted congressional map into law. The map, which DeSantis created during a special session after tossing the legislature's proposals that aligned with the state's "Fair Districts" amendment, drew Diamond and his family’s home out of the district he was vying to represent in Washington - Florida’s 13th.
