The new Rays stadium plans to introduce 1,200 affordable housing units – is this quantity satisfactory?

St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch has committed to introducing 8,000 affordable housing units by 2030.

The forthcoming Tampa Bay Rays stadium could potentially become one of St. Petersburg’s most extensive affordable housing initiatives. Alongside the proposed $1.3 billion baseball stadium, the city may gain 1,200 lower-cost housing units as part of the package.
