OPPORTUNITY ZONES The Opportunity Zone Program was created as part of the 2017 Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Opportunity Zones are economically distressed census tracts designated by the U.S. Treasury Department. By investing in an Opportunity Zone, through a qualifying Opportunity Fund, investors can defer and/or reduce their federal capital gains tax liability. These tax benefits increase the longer investments are held. There is no cap on the amount of capital that can be invested and the Opportunity Zone incentives can be applied to a wide range of investments in real estate and operating companies.

Pinellas County, Florida
Attracted by the mild, sub-tropical climate and miles of white sand beaches, nearly 950,000 people have made Pinellas County their home. With an average 360 days of sunshine each year and beaches ranked among the best in the U.S., the county is also the most popular tourist destination on the Gulf of Mexico, drawing nearly six million tourists annually.
Pinellas lies at the center of the robust Tampa Bay market, which is expected to grow from its current population of 4 million to 6 million by 2030. The market’s significant economic clout is also evidenced by more than $70 billion in consumer spending and a labor force 2 million strong. The region is ranked number 20 in the U.S. for job growth and carries the country’s 13th largest media market.
Anchored by the urban markets of St. Petersburg and Clearwater, Pinellas has the second largest base of manufacturing employment in Florida. Fortune 500 technology manufacturers Jabil and Tech Data are headquartered here. Pinellas has diverse, yet symbiotic, industry clusters, including aviation/ aerospace; defense/national security; medical technologies; business
and financial services; and information technology.
Pinellas offers an extraordinary quality of life, a relatively low cost of living, diverse housing options and high-quality colleges and universities. With its outstanding cultural, recreational and sports facilities, incomparable parks and beaches, and year round events, Pinellas provides a true resort lifestyle.
As an established community, Pinellas County’s significant infrastructure is already in place, including schools, utilities and roadways. Pinellas is also well connected with regional access provided via Interstate-275, two international airports, and the largest port in Florida. The Penny for Pinellas is a 1 cent sales surtax used to build and maintain the County’s infrastructure ensuring a great base for private sector investment.

Description The Tarpon Springs tract encompasses 1,101 acres. It is bordered by South Pinellas Avenue (Alt. 19) on the west, Klosterman Rd. on the South, U.S. Highway 19 on the east and East Tarpon Avenue on the north.
Land Use/Zoning The tract has a wide range of land uses including general commercial, residential office and residential mixed use along South Pinellas Ave. The Community Redevelopment Area has a form based zoning code allowing greater flexibility throughout the northern portion of the zone. The eastern border of U.S Hwy 19 is General Commercial and with typical highway business uses common throughout the County. Most of the interior is Residential or Recreation/Open Space.
Designations Approximately 70 acres along the east and west sides of Alt. 19 are part of Tarpon Springs Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), and offer myriad incentives for development, including façade and restaurant recruitment grants. The City’s National Register and Local Historic Districts are located within the northern portion of the tract. The tract is also a federal Targeted Employment Area (EB-5 Visa) and a NMTC Higher Distress area.
General The tract encompasses the Southern Gateway, South Pinellas, Spring Bayou, Downtown, and Union Academy neighborhood areas as well as U.S. Hwy 19, the County’s major commercial north/south corridor. Along this stretch of U.S. 19 are typical retail strip centers with grocery, retail, restaurants, and a few motels/hotels. The tract contains four large mobile home communities, a large open space park, and the Pinellas Trail runs adjacent to Pinellas Avenue, the western border. Beginning at the intersection of Pinellas Avenue and Safford Avenue and running north is the CRA designated portion of the tract. This area is a focus of redevelopment efforts through the CRA, including infrastructure upgrades and beautification.
Opportunities There are excellent opportunities for commercial development in this tract along the west side of U.S. Hwy 19. Smaller infill and commercial redevelopment are available throughout the tract and the CRA provide incentives for certain redevelopment projects. Redevelopment opportunities include: residential parcels along S. Safford Avenue owned by the City and County Housing Authorities; the 10-acre Manatee Plaza, an underutilized shopping center adjacent to Meres Boulevard; and a 60-acre former City-owned Land located along Meres Boulevard east of the shopping center. There is significant opportunity to increase residential density along the Meres/Mango corridor. The Meres/Mango connection to U.S. 19 will be constructed in 2019 by the developer of the Meres Apartment Complex currently under construction at the south east corner of Meres and Pinellas Avenue. Once the connection is complete the City will petition PSTA to include the facility as a transit corridor which will facilitate future density increases in the area. At least four established Mobile Home Parks in the zone totaling over 134 acres are available for redevelopment within the zone. The City would look favorable upon land assembly along the US-19 corridor and be willing to explore nodal development in this area. This would likely result in more flexible regulations for future business. The City is focused on exploring options to reevaluate the current land use patterns along the US-19 corridor.
