School, officials believe DeSantis will fund USF science center

While surprised at Gov. Ron DeSantis’ veto of funding for a new oceanographic science center on the University of South Florida’s St. Petersburg campus, many local stakeholders expressed their belief that state support was just a year away.

Speaking at the first USF Board of Trustees meeting since DeSantis slashed $75 million for a new oceanographic science center on the St. Petersburg campus from the state’s budget, Chair Will Weatherford's statements following a recent meeting with the governor echoed remarks from city business leaders and Sen. Jeff Brandes in the aftermath of the June 2 veto.
