Rays president talks Trop redevelopment

While the last Suncoast Tiger Bay Club meeting featuring Tampa Bay Rays President Brian Auld took place in a media conference room, Thursday's event had a decidedly different atmosphere.

Mayor Ken Welch, city administrators, County Commissioner Renee Flowers, Congresswoman Kathy Castor, representatives from the Hines development group, business leaders and club members gathered at the BallPark &Rec sports bar inside Tropicana Field for two reasons. Foremost was hearing Auld discuss the redevelopment of the stadium site and Historic Gas Plant District and the latest Rays and Tampa Bay Rowdies insights.

The recently announced closure of a Pinellas Park Walmart Neighborhood Market has county officials concerned for residents - not for people living in that city, but for the 21,500 in nearby Lealman.

According to Google Maps, the unincorporated town sits just over a mile south of the store, at 6900 U.S. Highway 19 N. Pinellas County’s leadership considers Lealman underserved and designated it as a community redevelopment area (CRA).
