Nonprofit has a plan, money to transform Tangerine Plaza

The city-owned, neglected Tangerine Plaza has remained mostly empty since a Walmart Neighborhood Market vacated the expansive property at 1794 22nd St. S. in 2017. The area is known for a lack of fresh food, housing and retail options, though upcoming developments will aid the latter aspect.

Tangerine Plaza still bustles every Saturday morning as cars snake around its parking lot to receive groceries from Positive Impact Ministries (PIM). Co-founder Karalynne Baker told the Catalyst that the St. Petersburg-based nonprofit now has a plan - and the money - to transform the deteriorating site into a community amenity.
