State of the City: St. Pete thrives despite challenges

Mayor Ken Welch's third annual State of the City address highlighted St. Petersburg's resilience amid storms, economic challenges and opposition to equitable initiatives.

The event began Tuesday morning at the Palladium Theater with a video montage that showcased the devastation caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton - and the residents who stepped up to help their neighbors. It ended with Welch recognizing the "heroes" who showed up to work in various city departments despite also suffering storm damage.
