Breaking: Hines & Tampa Bay Rays named as master developer of the Historic Gas Plant District Redevelopment https://bit.ly/3jkCGzJ At the 2023 State of the City address on Jan. 30, Mayor Ken Welch announced Hines & Tampa Bay Rays as his selection for the master developer of the Historic Gas Plant Redevelopment Project. “We are guided by our overarching goal, our North Star: Progress for All,” said Mayor Welch. “I’m excited to tell you that the State of the City is strong and focused on Inclusive and Principled Progress, progress that provides opportunities for everyone to move forward while leaving no part of our city behind.” Welch said he saw a need to build a better path forward by prioritizing the community’s need for affordable and workforce housing both on and off-site. The mayor said it was a complex decision, with two solid proposals from capable teams. His administration received input and feedback from diverse groups and individuals, along with staff and consultant analyses of the strengths and weaknesses of the proposals. Welch said he did his homework and is confident that the “best path forward” is Hines & Tampa Bay Rays. “This team is the best partner for this generational endeavor, and now the next phase of work begins to bring this dream to reality for everyone in St. Petersburg,” Welch asserted. #BlackHistory #GasPlant #HistoricGasPlantDistrict #development #StPete

Local meets legacy.

“I hope to continue the legacy my father built for years to come and to ensure that the voice of the local African American community is not stifled.” - Lyn Johnson

For more than 50 years, The Weekly Challenger newspaper has been the most comprehensive source for gathering, organizing and presenting news and information to the African-American communities of Tampa Bay. In addition to in-depth research and thorough reporting of local events, The Weekly Challenger newspaper also offers complete coverage of news from state, national and international.

Fifty two years after Cleveland Johnson acquired The Weekly Advertiser and re-branded it as a weekly newspaper catering to African-American news in the Tampa Bay area, the paper continues to thrive as the go-to source for “news outside your front door.”

Now led by Johnson’s youngest daughter, publisher Lyn Johnson, The Weekly Challenger continues to be the voice of the black community in Pinellas County. Under her leadership, the brand has strengthened its image with a strict focus on community news and interactive features on its newly designed website.
