2020PINELLAS COUNTY Obviously, the coronavirus crisis dominated the headlines this year, with more than 300,000 American deaths, millions more infected and untold hardships and long-lasting ramifi cations resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. But despite the physical, fi nancial and mental toll caused by the crisis, there were many stories fi lled with hope and happiness in 2020, and Pinellas had its fair share. Here’s a look at 20 storylines from 2020 that stood out this year.

Photo courtesy of the CITY OF DUNEDIN The city of Dunedin, Pinellas County and residents are pushing to preserve as much of the 43.44 acres of the Gladys Douglas-Hackworth property as they can.

Green space battles Developers looking to build on rare pieces of available green space in Pinellas County faced stiff opposition from several grassroots movements. • The most recent push is underway in Dunedin, where the county, city and community are joining in an effort to purchase the 44- acre Douglas-Hackworth property at the northeast corner of Virginia Avenue and Keene Road. A housing developer had made an offer on the property, but later dropped its bid after an outpouring of support to preserve the site that, combined with the neighboring Jerry Lake, would result in about 100 acres of passive recreation. A trustee for the estate has now given the city and county until Jan. 18 to make an offer. The city has already pledged $2 million and an anonymous couple has pledged $2 million more.

State and county response to COVID Pinellas County’s fi rst two cases of COVID-19 were reported on March 11. Its fi rst death was reported on March 23. The County Commission declared a local state of emergency March 13 and has extended it each week thereafter. From there it has been a roller coaster ride of executive orders from Gov. Ron DeSantis and resolutions from the commission. During the past nine months, long-term care facilities, schools, beaches, bars and nightclubs were among the businesses and facilities closed and then slowly reopened as the virus ebbed and fl owed. Restaurants were also forced to close indoor dining rooms and were restricted food service to take-out or delivery. Both the state and county issued stay-at-home orders requiring the public to maintain a distance of 6 feet from others and prohibited groups of more than 10. The state order said non-essential activities should be limited, sparking debate on what was considered essential. DeSantis began the fi rst phase of Florida’s recovery plan May 4 statewide and reopenings slowly commenced from there. In Pinellas, commissioners also enacted a mandatory face mask order on June 24. The countywide ordinance requires that facial coverings be worn in indoor public places except when social distancing, keeping 6 feet apart, is possible. Bars and restaurants can only serve people who are seated and social distancing of 6 feet must be maintained. GOOGLE EARTH The ordinance, which has fueled contentious debate from some residents, remains in effect. Harrod Properties Inc. had hoped to transform The Landings Golf Course in Clearwater into an industrial complex. Voters, however, rejected it in a Nov. 3 referendum.

2020PINELLAS COUNTY Too much and too little sand • The continuing clogging up of John’s Pass with sand is creating growing concern over the impact on tourism as well as public safety. City leaders say they have been soliciting help from county, state and federal offi cials in trying to solve the problem. As more sand comes in, the channel gets narrower and the current becomes swifter and becomes dangerous. John’s Pass is now the No. 1 place in the county for water rescues, Mayor John Hendricks said. In November, Hendricks said the issue will be getting a study by a USF professor to fi nd the exact cause of the problem. The study will take about six months to complete and will cost $30,000 to $35,000. • Offi cials delivered some bleak news in No- Photo by CHRIS GEORGE vember when they reported that the entire $40 Visitors to the new boardwalk overlooking Boca Ciega Bay at million-plus Sand Key beach nourishment proj- Waterfront Park enjoy some fi shing Oct. 24. ect was in doubt after the county failed to secure the needed easements from property owners in three of the seven municipalities seeking sand.

Cities fi nding new headquarters Largo, Dunedin, Clearwater and Treasure Island are all in the process of relocating to a new City Hall. In Largo, the fi rst portion of a three-phase project is complete and city commissioners learned the cost to buy land, design, build and furnish a mixed-use City Hall and parking garage along West Bay Drive is now up to just over $51 million, which is more than twice of the original cost estimate. Offi cials are not beginning to seek out public input as the design state progresses. City offi cials in Dunedin are also moving forward with plans to make their proposed $22 million city hall project shovel-ready. The design of the building is essentially complete, and they expect to seek bids toward the end of the year. Treasure Island is further along in its process of transforming the former Allied Insurance building at 10451 Gulf Blvd. into its City Hall Center. Offi cials said the city hopes to have plans and specifi cations completed by January, a contract awarded in March, and move-in by December 2021. Clearwater is still on the hunt for the right spot for its new City Hall, but council members have targeted the Park Street PSTA terminal and Pinellas County parking lot for a new facility that also includes a much-needed parking garage for downtown.

Belleair Country Club land lease In July, Belleair town commissioners approved a 30-year lease for Belleair Country Club that will bring in more than $1 million to the city, including an upfront payment of $350,000 from the club, which wants to create a new hole overlooking Clearwater Bay that one member says will compare to Pebble Beach’s No. 7. However, the project has been delayed after arrowheads and Native American artifacts were found on the property, leading city ofﬁ cials to wonder what the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will say about the planned renovation. Club attorney David Phillips told city commissioners Dec. 15 he’s waiting for the Army Corps to conduct its archaeological study of the property and no permits have been issued or approved yet.
