Board vacates Adams Circle to clear path for Pinellas County Housing Authority project
Summary
County commissioners approved a petition by the Pinellas County Housing Authority to vacate Adams Circle to facilitate an affordable housing project; developer representatives requested approval and commissioners emphasized support for adding affordable units.
The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a petition to vacate Adams Circle, a dedicated right-of-way, to enable a Pinellas County Housing Authority affordable housing project.
The petition appeared as agenda item 7. Applicants’ representatives Jeremy Couch of Tampa Civil and Brian Evgen of New Star Development told the board they were partnered with the Pinellas County Housing Authority and respectfully requested approval. Two callers who had earlier left voicemails expressing concerns were on the Zoom record for the item but did not speak at the podium.
Commissioner Flowers noted the petition supports construction of another affordable housing project and moved approval. The motion passed with Commissioner Peters seconding; the vote was unanimous.
Ending: With the vacation approved, the housing authority and its development partner will move forward on site plans and permitting for the identified property and proceed with project design and financing.
