Pinellas County Backs $800K Workforce Housing Project

0:00Pinellas County commissioners just dropped $800,000 to back the Brentwood Town Homes project in Pinellas Park aiming to build 25 workforce housing units right there on Brian Dairy Road. This setup mixes income restricted spots for folks earning moderate wages with some market rate homes all locked into long-term affordability through the county's land trust and the penny for program. The board gave it a unanimous thumbs up highlighting the big push for housing that working families can actually grab hold of as prices keep climbing in the area. County staff now steps in to run the financial checks and nail down the final deal with developer Brentwood B-L-T-E-I-C-L-L-C. With that green light these town homes are on track to ease the squeeze on local housing keeping more people rooted in Pinellas. Local news powered by AI this is Tampa Bay News today.
