PLANNING LEADER GROUP

In 2016, 2020 Plan leaders proposed to Mayor Rick Kriseman and Deputy Mayor Dr. Kanika Tomalin that the City invest in the creation of a comprehensive economic growth plan for South St. Petersburg - one that builds on but overcomes the limits of traditional redevelopment approaches, which have not measurably grown employment, income or wealth for St. Petersburg's African American community... Despite the dozens of plans created for various areas in South St. Petersburg - where nearly 80% of the city's black population resides - none had measurably grown employment, income or wealth for St. Petersburg's African American residents.
