Are you like me? Give me a physical map and I get excited! Maybe its a carryover from the pre-GPS days, but I think it is such a fun way to explore an area.
Do you have an innovative idea for the District - a place we are missing, a new use for an existing building, a technology tool... anything? As part of our Master Planning project, we have an online tool available for you to share these ideas.
Imagine a day when you jump in an electronic, autonomous air taxi in St. Pete and head to Tampa International Airport or even to Orlando.
The Innovation District master planning project has begun!
Kudos to the Volunteers of America Florida, City of St. Petersburg, and Pinellas County for the recent opening of the new downtown apartments, located in the Innovation District called Innovare. Innovare’s 50 apartments provide stable homes for individuals and families who earn 60 percent or less of the Area’s Median Income (AMI), including many who are transitioning from homelessness.

Digital inclusion, as a concept, refers to taking action to ensure that everyone has access to online resources, as well as the education to make that access and use that access meaningfully. Digital inclusion is focused helping individuals engage online for civic and cultural participation, employment, lifelong learning, and essential services. It seeks to reduce and ultimately to eliminate historical, institutional and structural barriers to the access and use of technology.
The Digital Inclusion effort began in late 2019 under the St. Petersburg Innovation District and operated throughout COVID-19 in partnership with Deuces Live and community organizations. It has since moved under the backbone support of the Community Foundation Tampa Bay. It continues today as a collaboration of over 30 organizations who are committed to eliminating the digital inclusion gap including internet access, devices, training, and technical support.
