The 86-acre Tropicana Field redevelopment project marks the first time in the history of St. Petersburg that race equity was a required focal point of a major development. It is also one of the first projects that will be subject to the new Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) policy adopted by City Council in July 2021.
The Power Broker Media Group created a summary report to help local leaders, activists, and residents better understand the bevy of community-centered commitments offered by the two finalist developers for the Tropicana Field project – JMA Ventures/Sugar Hill and Midtown Development.
The developers offer different approaches to community investments. The two proposals differ not only in the types and scale of benefits offered, but in the groups who will benefit, and the process by which benefits, and beneficiaries will be decided.
