St. Petersburg to get $45 million from President Biden’s American Recovery Plan

Of the $350 billion dedicated to local governments built into the federal government’s latest coronavirus relief package, the American Rescue Plan, the Sunshine City will receive $45 million, Mayor Rick Kriseman and other city leaders announced on Wednesday.
