St. Pete, Ken Welch score 3 legislative wins, with a little help from friends

by Sally Schroder

The city of St. Petersburg is celebrating a trio of victories this Legislative Session on priorities leaders pushed, including provisions limiting wake on flooded streets, increasing affordable housing opportunities and improving building safety during storms.

“The passage of these state legislative priorities underscores our focus on two of St. Petersburg’s Pillars for Progress: Neighborhood Health & Safety and Housing Opportunities for All,” Mayor Welch said. “By listening to our residents and working in coordination with our state partners, these smart, forward-looking policies will ensure that St. Petersburg and Florida, as a whole, will be a safer, more affordable place to live.”
