St. Petersburg, Dunedin, Largo mayors push to extend solar tax credit
October 23, 2019 - Three local mayors were among 231 mayors nationwide who signed a letter to Congress, urging passage of legislation to extend the solar investment tax credit for five years. Dunedin Mayor Julie Ward Bujalski, Largo Mayor Louis L. "Woody" Brown and St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman signed the Oct. 22 letter, saying since it was first approved in 2006, the tax credit has created more than 200,000 jobs and $140 billion in private investment in the United States. The tax credit is scheduled to begin ramping down at the end of this year.
