Description
After weeks of scrutinizing items included in preliminary agreements for the proposed redevelopment of the Historic Gas Plant District and building of a new stadium for the Rays, council members wrapped up their final workshop session Tuesday.
“This is a very important day for our city,” said Mayor Ken Welch, kicking off the Committee of the Whole meeting, as council members weigh whether to approve what would be the biggest redevelopment project in city history.
“The city's never done anything of this scope, and that require collaboration, innovation, and a focus on getting feedback and recommendations from you,” Welch said.
The meeting marked the fifth and final workshop for council members to scrutinize final details in agreements made between the city and the Rays/Hines Development Group as part of a proposed $6.5 billion redevelopment in St. Pete.
