The Sugar Hill Group, chosen by former Mayor Rick Kriseman nearly four and a half years ago, has unveiled their third set of plans for the redevelopment of the Tangerine Plaza shopping center in South St. Petersburg, once home to a Walmart Neighborhood Market. The new plans include a 10,000+ square foot grocery store and 115 units of affordable housing. Roy Binger and Rev. Louis Murphy of Sugar Hill, joined by a partnership with New Urban Development, are rallying community support ahead of their presentation to the city council in the coming weeks. Despite negotiations with potential grocers, concerns from some council members linger regarding project delays and the viability of securing a long-term grocery tenant for the space.
