Mayor Rick Kriseman took to Facebook Friday afternoon to announce the names of his advisors to assist in strategies related to reopening the St. Petersburg economy. The advisor list is comprised of elected officials, business and nonprofit leaders, health professionals, transportation advisors and local cultural leaders.
Among the business and economic development advisors: Chris Steinocher, President and CEO of the St. Petersburg Chamber; J.P. DuBuque, President and CEO of the St. Pete Economic Development Corporation; and Jason Mathis, CEO of the St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership. They are joined by are joined by small business leaders such as Olga Bof, Executive Director of Keep St. Pete Local and Dex Fabian, Publisher of the ever-popular I Love The ‘Burg. An unsurprising move, considering Kriseman’s focus on small business in the administration of the Fighting Chance Fund. Deputy Mayor and City Administrator Kanika Tomalin, the mind behind the Fighting Chance Fund, is also on the list of advisors.
Unlike the statewide task force for reopening Florida, which is conducting its business through public conference calls, Kriseman said he will be meeting with advisors on a one-on-one basis and will also receive input from St. Petersburg City Council during its Council of the Whole meeting April 30.
