County provides $3 million for office space in Edge District

Orange Station on the Edge, a sprawling mixed-use development under construction on the site of the former St. Petersburg Police headquarters, is receiving $3 million from Pinellas County to create office space.

While Orange Station lies within St. Petersburg city limits at 1301 Central Ave., and Pinellas often invests in affordable housing projects through land leases that ensure an affordability period of 99 years, Pinellas commissioners approved the funding during the June 21 board meeting under the Penny for Pinellas Employment Sites Program.
