ST. PETERSBURG – In May, Mayor Rick Kriseman appointed a 21-member Working Group comprised of leaders from the neighborhoods, local businesses and stakeholders from previous Pier discussions to determine the next steps in moving a new Pier plan forward.
The Working Group now invites interested members of the public to join in the process by attending one of five public input sessions to be held from June 19 to July 2 at locations throughout the city. At each session, participants will complete a questionnaire regarding the functional elements to be included in the Pier’s future design, take part in a round table discussion and have an opportunity to be speak with members of the Working Group.
The meetings will be held:
- Thursday, June 26 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Roberts Recreation Center, 1246 50th Ave. N.
- Monday, June 30 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Lake Vista Recreation Center, 1401 62nd Ave. S.
- Wednesday, July 2 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at J.W. Cate Recreation Center. 5801 22nd Ave. N.
The meetings are NOT focused on the new design, the function is the main concern. For those who often complain that there isn’t anything to do in the city, (in which you are wrong) THIS IS YOUR CHANCE to change that. They want to know what YOU WANT TO PUT THERE. Fill out the surveys with detailed information (like a bowling alley, skating rink, jet ski rentals).
