St. Pete Beach redevelopment saga has another chapter

After an over 10-hour meeting that started Wednesday evening and ended early Thursday morning, St. Pete Beach City Commissioners came to a familiar conclusion - delaying a vote on a massive redevelopment project.

Mayor Adrian Petrila, at around 2 a.m. Thursday, said they should continue discussing the 13-acre Sirata Beach Resort's controversial future at a Tuesday, Feb. 27, meeting. Kentucky-based Columbia Sussex bought the beachfront resort for $207 million in 2022 and unveiled extensive redevelopment plans in April 2023.

Arts Alive! podcast: Artist Carrie Jadus

Carrie Jadus is one of those left brain-right brain people who seem to be firing on all cranial cylinders. She is a painter whose dreamlike oils are both starkly reality-based and deeply impressionistic, yet she’s also able to apply a practical skill set – she’s got a B.S. in electrical engineering – to making her art work as not only a business, but a successful business.

One of St. Petersburg’s finest fine artists, Jadus is today’s guest on the Arts Alive! podcast. She has been making a living from her art for 18 years now.
