St. Pete outlines plans for $148 million marina project

Long-awaited plans to revitalize St. Petersburg’s Municipal Marina have turned a new page as the mayoral administration is searching for the $148 million-budgeted project’s contractor.

The city recently issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) from firms with experience designing and building coastal facilities, floating docks, accessory buildings, fuel stations, seawalls, bridges, roads and other infrastructure. Development Administrator James Corbett subsequently said construction will start in late 2026.

Hurricane Milton’s projected storm surge forced Mayor Ken Welch to evacuate the Southwest Water Reclamation Facility. Its new operations and maintenance building will withstand a Category 5 storm.

St. Petersburg City Council members unanimously approved an $18.3 million contract to storm-harden the critical facility - one of three - at their Nov. 6 meeting. They also allocated $770,504 to inspect and improve stormwater infrastructure.
