The developers plan to turn a nearly-abandoned shopping mall that is a designated Brownfield...into something that will make the City proud, provide local jobs and bring shoppers and tourists from Pinellas, Tampa Bay and elsewhere.
It will be a destination.
The developers are asking the Seminole City Council to request that Pinellas County include businesses or organizations, such as Seminole City Center, locating or expanding in brownfield areas as a possible recipient of benefits under the proposed ad valorem tax exemption program. The Florida State Statutes (Section 196.1995) regulating such programs recognizes that Brownfield conversion is smart and benefits the public.
The Florida Statutes allow for such consideration but Pinellas County's proposed new ordinance excludes it.
Including businesses and organizations locating or expanding in a brownfield area does not guarantee that any project will qualify for incentives…it just allows consideration.
To make Seminole City Center the best that it can be, the developers are simply asking for consideration.
By signing this petition, you are saying that you support Consideration for Seminole City Center.
Thank you.

Lots of families in Seminole area. Bring in some unique food choices and retail shopping.
this is welcome by me. I believe this will also increase property values in the area
I work in Seminole and I believe that the existing Seminole Mall is a Brownfield. I is so empty and is a visual blight in Seminole. We need a new developement on the old Mall sight.
A vacant mall is doing nothing for the city of Seminole. This revitalization is necessary and should be given the opportunity to get some tax breaks too.
I love Seminole. Please redevelop this mall. We need the jobs & a destination to shop. I spend money in St. Pete and Largo because there is no where to spend my money in Seminole.

My husband and I went here on little dates when we were teens, would love to see the mall improved and have life again.
