Michael Neal reposted thisMichael Neal reposted thisKAST was proud to be the presenting sponsor of Children Cancer Center’s Annual Social Society for the second year in a row. This year’s event included secret speakeasy rooms full of dazzling live entertainers, enchanting activities, spirited prohibition-era cocktails, and much more. Followed by an outdoor lounge where guests participated in a live auction followed by a chance to hear from Children's Cancer Center fighters, ending with a cabaret style variety show. All to benefit CCC’s largest fundraising event in Sarasota – supporting families throughout Sarasota, Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pacso counties.

Michael Neal reposted thisMichael Neal reposted thisLast week, Pinellas County and the City of St. Petersburg celebrated the groundbreaking of Fairfield Avenue Apartments, a 264-unit affordable and workforce housing community designed to create real housing opportunities for local residents across a range of income levels. Located at 3300 Fairfield Avenue South, the $94 million development transforms a former industrial site into much-needed housing, with residences available to households earning from minimum wage up to 120% of Area Median Income. The community will include one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments to support individuals, families, and the local workforce. This project represents a powerful collaboration between public and private partners and reflects continued momentum across Pinellas County to expand access to quality, attainable housing. Proud to help build homes that strengthen communities and create opportunity where it’s needed most.

Nate, words cannot properly express how proud I am to have worked with you for over 20 years! This recognition is the result of your focus on Leadership, Communication, Continuous Improvement and Self Improvement. This has been the story of your long journey to becoming a great Senior Superintendent. Like all great leaders, you have played "the long game" with no shortcuts.

Michael Neal liked thisMichael Neal liked thisExciting news! BTT broke ground last week at West Gap Creek, the first of two Creeks Restoration Projects in East Grand Bahama! In partnership with the Ministry of Works & Family Island Affairs, BTT has launched a new initiative to restore important tidal creek systems. These projects will restore natural tidal flow at the West Gap Creek and August Creek, which provide essential habitat for bonefish and many other species, and are critical to the heath of mangrove ecosystem. By reconnecting these creeks, the initiative will improve water quality, strengthen climate and storm resilience, and benefit surrounding communities. Stay tuned for more updates on our progress!
