The preservation and safety of our beautiful coastal city is of utmost importance. As one of the winners of Bloomberg’s American Cities Climate Challenge, St. Pete is committed to implementing policies and programs that address environmental, economic, and social challenges.
Keeping people and property safe in the face of climate disasters is a top priority of the City of St. Pete. Residents and businesses here benefit from plans and policies that strengthen the city’s infrastructure and ensure long-term resilience.
As St. Pete builds up and out to support our growing community, green buildings set the standard for sustainable design and construction. The City offers incentives to green construction of commercial and residential structures and there are a number of notable buildings around the city that are certified sustainable.
Solar co-ops offer residents and business owners the opportunity to make the most of our 361 days of annual sunshine. The City supports solar for both municipal and community operations, and residents and organizations can take advantage of discounted pricing and quality installation through community-led programs.
Between the City and community organizations, efforts to maintain and strengthen St. Pete as a clean, healthy place to live and do business are abundant. Throughout the community, residents and organizations can find resources and support to help them reduce waste, conserve water, foster urban agriculture, and sustain our tree canopy and green spaces.
