St. Pete 2.0 Results: What Are We Prioritizing As We Rebuild St. Pete?

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. 

COVID-19 cases are on the rise nationwide. Economic instability continues to create stress for business owners and individual residents. And cries for racial equity are echoing across the city from voices demanding change ASAP. St. Petersburg, like so many other cities, is at a crossroads, and the decisions we make now will have a dramatic impact on what the city looks like in the future. These ongoing challenges prompted us to put out a survey asking readers what St. Petersburg should prioritize as it rebuilds.

We used the forum of St. Pete 2.0 to get a sense of what’s most important to the community in terms of public policies and financial commitments. On a scale of one to 10, we asked participants to rank how they prioritize issues ranging from housing to education to the environment. We also asked a few open-ended questions about how St. Pete can build on its strengths, improve on its weaknesses and continue to grow in a way that lifts up all residents.
