Next Stop: Pinellas County Government Board of Commissioners. Pinellas County has a commitment to move to 100% clean energy by 2050 - around the same time this development might be getting finished.
From Tampa Bay Times: "There were also last-minute additions of contract language on how environmentally sustainable and resilient the stadium and redevelopment would be. At the behest of the Suncoast Sierra Club, the council voted unanimously to add stronger language to the Historic Gas Plant Agreement. The contract now reads that developers will design and implement market-appropriate sustainability standards in the development." Read article here.
We will be joined by Lauren Wolf, Pinellas County Sustainability & Resiliency Coordinator and Kelly Grabovac, Pinellas County Energy and Water Conservation Program Administrator. The presentation will be titled, “Pinellas County: Energy and Other Resiliency Updates” and will review the County’s Ready for 100 progress, touch on other energy and water conservation items, as well as Pinellas County’s resilience projects.RSVP Here
