Rays, city officials work towards marriage after ‘engagement’

Following Mayor Ken Welch’s selection of the Tampa Bay Rays to lead the redevelopment of Tropicana Field and the historic Gas Plant District, he compared the partnership to an engagement.

Welch told reporters at his press conference Monday that the city and the team are now moving towards a wedding. As such, he believes Rays officials should commit to St. Petersburg, particularly when one local entity - the Pinellas County Commission - is “helping pay for the wedding.”

Inside the Moxy Hotel, linking Central and the Trop

City officials huddled in a caged elevator hoisting them up to one of the floors inside the Moxy Hotel by Marriott that's under construction at 1234-1246 Central Ave., across from Tropicana Field.

The 163-key hotel has officially topped out - marking the successful completion of the structural phase of the project. The Moxy Hotel is only scratching the surface of the entire bold vision from Miami-based PTM Partners to establish a new destination that would bridge a connection between the bustling street to the Trop, anchored by the hotel.
