North Shore Pool: a sustainability leader
 
From the Tampa Bay Times:
St. Petersburg's North Shore Pool poster child of sustainability
North Shore Aquatic Complex, which claims bragging rights for its Olympic training facilities, now also can boast of its sustainability efforts.
New energy-saving geothermal and filtration systems and solar power have put the facility at the forefront of Mayor Rick Kriseman's recently announced initiatives to make St. Petersburg an even greener city.
"It's probably one of the most successful sustainability efforts the city has done to date," said parks and recreation director Michael Jefferis of the $400,000 project.

Tampa Bay Times: Editorial: St. Petersburg should nurture IndyCar race
Imagine this. For a modest investment of $150,000, the city of St. Petersburg draws 160,000 race fans to its downtown waterfront. Tampa Bay gets tens of thousands of hotel nights, millions in economic impact and hours of worldwide television exposure for the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. Yet a City Council with a chip on its shoulder questions whether it is worth the money, offends the well-respected race organizers and jeopardizes the future of an event that took years to establish and that other cities would beg to attract.
