TIERRA VERDE, Fla. (WFLA) — Developers made changes to an expansion proposal for the Tierra Verde Marina, but residents during a town hall Tuesday said they still aren’t pleased and plan to stand against it.
The application was submitted to the City of St. Petersburg on March 10. The company, Greenleaf Capital LLC (Greenleaf), withdrew its initial application to make material changes to the plans. The new proposal includes one phase to modernize the marina, expand the high and dry boat storage, and bring in amenities. The marina’s capacity will have 500 dry spaces; it was initially 548. They reduced the height from 90 feet to 72 feet, and they plan to retain the existing boat barn.
