St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch is extending the city’s timeline for competing proposals to redevelop the Historic Gas Plant District, pushing back the publication of a 30-day public notice until January in response to concerns from City Council members and the development community.
Welch said in a letter to Council members that he will direct city staff to delay publication of the notice until Jan. 4, giving developers until Feb. 3 to submit. The move effectively provides a 105-day window since the city first announced its intent to reopen the process in late October, a response to an unsolicited proposal.
