St. Pete Council Overrules Panel, Clears Chick-fil-A Rebuild That Could Bulldoze Fish Store

St. Petersburg City Council voted 7-1 to approve land-use and zoning changes that pave the way for a larger Chick-fil-A at 4201 4th Street N, overturning a city commission's earlier rejection of the project. The decision clears a path for the fast-food chain to rebuild on a bigger footprint with nearly double the parking, but it also puts a long-running shopping center, a neighborhood fish store, and seven apartment units on the chopping block.

Inside the room: Most people who spoke at the hearing opposed the deal, arguing that a county about to lose hundreds of millions in property taxes has no business chipping in for a new stadium. "The public tolerance for corporate subsidies is at absolute

St. Pete Mayor-elect Crist teases a ‘map forward’ for city

St. Petersburg gave its mayor-elect, Charlie Crist, a mandate. City voters turned out 62% for the former governor and congressman, ousting Mayor Ken Welch.
