ST. PETERSBURG — Taped to a downtown building that once housed the office of the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg is a document that could stall a multimillion-dollar redevelopment project.
The cease-and-desist stipulation posted at 25 Second St. N has halted, at least temporarily, work to demolish an old hotel that would make way for a new development across from Jannus Live.
The order to stop work until proper permits are issued came after windows on the top two floors of the four-story building had already been removed, leaving shutters framing the gaping holes.
