ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The proposals are in for the redevelopment of the Tropicana Field site.

Mayor Ken Welch rebooted the whole process of selecting a developer after he was sworn in as mayor last year.

On Monday, four new proposals were announced from developers Sugar Hill Community Partners, 50 Plus 1 Sports, Hines & Tampa Bay Rays and Restoration Associates. 

There were a lot of boxes developers had to check off to meet the requirements to submit a proposal, meeting the needs of housing, retail, baseball and the promises made to those who lived in the former Gas Plant District. 

Here are the proposals:
