Potential sewage plant solutions include a massive wall

Storm-hardening two of St. Petersburg’s wastewater treatment facilities shuttered during recent hurricanes was a prominent topic at a recent City Council meeting.

Administrators will consider any innovative storm resiliency solutions amid increasingly severe extreme weather events. Efforts to elevate the Northeast Water Reclamation Facility - rendered useless during Hurricanes Helene and Milton - are underway.

Proposed museum expansion takes a step forward

The long-discussed expansion of the Dali Museum came one step closer to reality Thursday, as the St. Petersburg City Council voted unanimously to amend the City’s 99-year lease with the bayfront art museum, one of the top tourist draws in St. Petersburg, on first reading.

This was necessary because a referendum called by City ordinance 512-H, authorized and approved in November, 2022, was set to expire Dec. 31 of this year. Failure to amend the lease could have resulted in the loss of $25 million in County bed tax money already earmarked for the expansion.
