Innovation District Masterplan

The Downtown Partnership has been a prominent supporter of the Innovation District since its inception and has been a leading advocate for a Master Plan to chart the future for this important neighborhood and regional economic catalyst. We will continue to partner with the Innovation District in a supportive role to champion a planning effort for the next phase of this important economic catalyst.

USF students in the planner-in-residence class speak with Caryn Nesmith, director of community relations at USF St. Petersburg, to help inform the master plan they developed for the St. Petersburg Innovation District.
