The showrooms are equipped with executive summaries of the proposals, videos, renderings, and the ability to leave input regarding the four shortlisted proposals.

The showroom locations are:

- North Library: 861 70th Ave. N.
- Mirror Lake Library: 280 5th St. N.
- JW Cate Rec Center: 5801 22nd Ave. N.
- Enoch Davis Rec Center: 1111 18th Ave. S.

Each showroom location is subject to the established operating hours of the respective library or recreation center.

The showrooms launch after a week of extensive engagement with the potential development partners, where more than 500 residents joined three community input meetings. Community feedback will be collected until the final ribbon is cut on the Tropicana Field redevelopment. Input collected during this shortlist period will be provided to Mayor Rick Kriseman to inform a final development partner selection later this year.

Financial help is available for St. Pete residents who are falling behind on rent due to the pandemic.    

The City of St. Petersburg is participating in the Pinellas County Emergency Rental Assistance Program, which provides financial assistance for individuals and families who have lost their jobs or have had a significant reduction in income due to the pandemic.

Eligible applicants may receive funds to cover missed rent payments and future rent payments, up to 12 months in total.

Residents can find eligibility criteria and apply on the County’s COVID-19 website at www.bit.ly/pc-rent. Tenants who are overdue on rent should not wait for an eviction notice to seek help and may already be eligible for financial assistance based on the criteria below. 

Homeowners in St. Pete that have been impacted by the pandemic may be eligible for financial assistance through the City of St. Petersburg’s Mortgage & Utility Payment Assistance Grant Program. More information and qualifications can be found at stpete.org/MortgageAssistance.
