Welch will not ‘pause’ Trop site redevelopment

At least one St. Petersburg City Council member wants the mayoral administration to pump the brakes on selecting a redevelopment proposal for the Historic Gas Plant District, which is currently home to Tropicana Field.

Councilmember Brandi Gabbard has requested a vote on a resolution that formally opposes Mayor Ken Welch “moving forward with any developer selection” before the city completes an extensive study. She submitted the new business item Friday.
