Working together for workforce housing

by
Palms of Pinellas

What can agencies, municipalities and real estate developers do to get more workforce housing built in the Tampa Bay area?

One answer is public-private partnerships, like the one behind the new Palms of Pinellas apartment community in Largo.

Palms of Pinellas resulted from a partnership involving the Pinellas County Housing Authority, Norstar Development and Valley Bank. The mixed-income, 92-unit project is the first of its kind in Largo.

Workforce housing is a key component for a good quality of life, providing affordable places to live for people who work in our tourism and services industries, as examples.
