St. Pete 2.0 Results: What Does the Future Hold After Six Months of Covid-19 (Part Four)

The St. Petersburg renaissance has been in full swing for more than a decade. We’ve excelled in many areas and struggled in others. In our series St. Pete 2.0, we’re partnering with the St. Pete Catalyst to explore what lies on the other side of our potential – what will it take to move to the “next level” as a city? Through this series, we’ll dig into specific topics with the hope that you, our thoughtful citizens, will share your insight, experience and wisdom. 

Over the last six months, we’ve had plenty of time to reflect on our new normal. There have been a few bright spots here and there, but most of us agree that 2020 is something we’d like to forget. Now, as we enter the final three months of the year, many of us are also starting to think about the future. What will it look like? Can we ever go back to the way things were? And should we?

In our final installment of our St. Pete 2.0 survey story, we asked participants to get out their crystal balls and share what they predict will be the lasting impacts of Covid-19 on the community.

Here’s what we learned.
