Can St. Pete afford capital improvements and stadium costs?

City officials project that St. Petersburg will spend $6.8 billion on capital improvements over the next 30 years, with water resources and infrastructure improvements accounting for 73%.

That is the same length as the Tampa Bay Rays’ proposed lease on a new ballpark, and 10 years beyond the Historic Gas Plant District redevelopment’s expected construction timeline. Councilmember Lisset Hanewicz requested the presentation on planned capital improvement costs as she and her colleagues will soon vote on contributing $400 million to the project.

Raymond H. Neri Park will soon receive a $10.2 million facelift as part of ongoing efforts to transform a historically underserved area into a thriving community.

The vacant greenspace at 4303 46th Ave. N. in unincorporated Lealman will receive a playground and “challenge course,” multi-purpose playing fields, two dog parks, picnic shelters, restrooms and a new parking area. Pinellas County Commissioners unanimously approved the project funding Tuesday.
