As the President and CEO of the St. Petersburg Housing Authority, it brings me immense pride to witness the progress, unity, and achievements that have shaped our community throughout the past year.

Our major achievement this year was the completion of "The Legacy at Jordan Park". This brand-new three-story, 60-unit senior midrise building is more than just bricks and mortar; it represents an exciting new chapter for the Jordan Park community. We also celebrated the completion of renovations to the 206 Jordan Park Family Units.

But our successes go beyond infrastructure. The sense of community we've fostered is evident in every interaction, every shared smile, and every helping hand extended.

Thank you, each and every one of you, for making 2023 a truly great year. Here's to the memories we've shared and the ones we're yet to create. May the coming year be filled with even more joy, success, and moments that bind us together.
