New tax revenues, new jobs, and over $1 billion in new investment, all at no additional cost to taxpayers.
The Rays’ new waterfront ballpark and the redevelopment of the Tropicana Field site will continue St. Petersburg’s remarkable renaissance. Together, these projects will bring a dynamic mix of amenities downtown and create inviting new places within this lively, cosmopolitan community.  Representing over $1 billion in private investment, these projects will not only activate the downtown core throughout the year, but bring new retailers, housing and open space to the area and serve as examples of superior architecture, urban design and sustainable development. They will contribute significantly to the area's culture and skyline.  The Rays’ new ballpark and the redevelopment of Tropicana Field will solidify St. Petersburg’s role as a great place to watch baseball and a great place to spend the day .
