St. Pete Pier: 3 Open Houses Set

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — St. Petersburg residents hoping for an update on what’s happening with the pier project will have three chances to learn more during the month of September. The city has announced three open house-style meetings.

“All programs are the same and you are welcome to attend any of the three sessions,” the city wrote in a media release. “Information about the Pier process will be shared – what has happened to date and what’s coming up.”

The city is also hoping to get input from residents during the informal, round-table discussions. The open houses are set to take place:

• Tuesday, Sept. 13 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Roberts Recreation Center, 1246 50th Ave. N.
• Wednesday, Sept. 14 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at J.W. Cate Recreation Center, 5801 22nd Ave. N.
• Tuesday, Sept. 20 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Lake Vista Recreation Center, 1401 62nd Ave. S.

The project remains in its design phase with construction hoped to begin in early 2017 with completion on the $66 million project targeted for the third quarter of 2018.
