Nonprofit leaders weigh in on Tangerine Plaza’s future

The future of Tangerine Plaza in South St. Petersburg has been top of mind for many in the community, especially for nonprofit leaders who envision a revitalized community hub and strategic interventions that address critical needs such as food security, job training and community health.

Tangerine Plaza, located at 1794 22nd St. S., has a storied history as a key retail hub for the community. It was once home to a Sweetbay Supermarket, which later became a Walmart Neighborhood Market.

Since then, the plaza has largely remained vacant.
