		Pinellas County is a thriving community. The county is home to 35,000 businesses and has a population of nearly 944,000. However, over time, geography and population growth have combined to produce an unavoidable effect: the amount of developable vacant land is diminishing throughout Pinellas County.

The Pinellas community has recognized this shift and embarked on a unique redevelopment strategy to manage population growth, preserve quality of life, and foster business development. The redevelopment plan will preserve greenspace; enhance the quality of downtowns, public parks and recreation facilities; facilitate new construction projects; and renovate older commercial/industrial buildings for a variety of mixed uses.

Redevelopment is crucial to maintaining a vital and healthy economy. Local governments, businesses, and members of the community have united to create a comprehensive redevelopment strategy that will preserve quality of life, foster business expansion and job growth, and create mixed-use development that best utilizes greenspace.

Pinellas by Design is an ongoing effort that will continue to study the issues and provide the tools to shape our communities, resulting in a smarter future for businesses and citizens. Central to the effort is Pinellas by Design: An Economic Development & Redevelopment Plan for the Pinellas Community. This plan establishes the economic, real estate, and regulatory considerations upon which the recommended strategies for countywide economic development and redevelopment are founded.
