The Board of County Commissioners (BCC) in Pinellas County has cleared the way this week for the Historic Gas Plant District development in St. Petersburg, a massive $6.5B mixed-use project that will be built around a new MLB ballpark.

The BCC approved in a 5-2 vote on Tuesday a partnership with the City of St. Petersburg, the Tampa Bay Rays and Hines. That will include a new downtown stadium for the MLB club surrounded by 5,400 residential units, a 6,000-seat entertainment venue, 750 hotel rooms, 1.4M SF of office space, medical and commercial space and 750K SF of retail.

The development also will include a new Woodson African American Museum of Florida.
