Third time’s the charm: County approves Rays stadium bonds

While significant hurdles remain, a deal to build a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium in downtown St. Petersburg has seemingly risen from the dead.

Pinellas County Commissioners authorized a bond sale to finance their contribution for a $1.37 billion ballpark in a 5-2 vote Tuesday night. Their belated approval followed two postponements and several hours of ardent debate across multiple meetings.

New tower will include coffee brewer’s first U.S. storefront

A boutique condominium tower nearing completion in downtown St. Petersburg will soon house an award-winning Panamanian coffee company’s first retail location in the United States.

DDA Development, the firm building The Nolen, recently sold the 23-story tower's ground-level retail space to Savage Coffees. The Panama-based coffee producer and roastery will occupy 2,091 square feet.
