The Sustainability & Resilience Committee continues advancing tools and practices that help St. Pete better withstand storms and climate-driven challenges. We recently launched a Storm Mitigation & Recovery Resources webpage, complete with a procurement guide, to support businesses and residents in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from severe weather events. In parallel, the Committee has been discussing a new Resilient Flood Mitigation Workforce Development proposal — a strategy aimed at building local capacity to address flood risk through trained workers and stronger public‐private partnerships.
Looking ahead, mark your calendars for “Get on the Bus: SunRunner Tour” on THIS FRIDAY, September 19 from 1:00 to 5:00 PM. This special event will bring together topics of sustainability, transportation, and housing, showcasing how the SunRunner Bus Rapid Transit line is shaping a more connected, resilient St. Petersburg by highlighting infrastructure, community development, and transit-oriented growth.
