City to purchase Salt Creek property for preserve

City Councilmember Gina Driscoll has eyed vacant property along Salt Creek - nearly three acres of it - for years. She thought St. Petersburg, undergoing rapid development, could use additional greenspace.

Administrators - realizing flood management and educational opportunities - agreed. The city will now offer the seller $2.9 million for three adjoining parcels fronting 4th Street, 18th Avenue and 17th Avenue South.

Hurricanes impeded Tampa Bay water quality progress

Dylan Hubbard described Boca Ciega Bay as a "doody-brown color" in the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton. "I mean, it was really ugly," he said.
