Stadium Plan Threatens Historically Black Neighborhood in St. Petersburg Florida.

A coalition of community groups in St. Petersburg, Florida, is protesting the city’s plan to build a new stadium on an 86acre parcel once known as the Gas Plant neighborhood, one of St. Pete’s oldest Black neighborhoods. The city is promising that the $6.5 billion development — also slated to include residences, office and retail space, a conference center and a hotel — will help address past racial inequities, but critics of the plan say it does little to address the city’s soaring rents and shortage of reasonably priced rental properties.
