On this episode of Chamber Coronavirus Impact Insights, J.P. Dubuque, CEO of the St. Petersburg Economic Development Corporation (EDC) join Chris Steinocher, CEO of the St. Petersburg Chamber and Joe Hamilton, Publisher of the St. Pete Catalyst to discuss the EDC’s Become St. Pete campaign, and how it’s pivoting to help locals.

According to Dubuque, Become St. Pete was originally conceived as an outward-facing economic development campaign to drive young millennial workers and successful companies to relocate to St. Petersburg.

Due to the devastating economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the St. Pete EDC has turned its efforts inward. Become St. Pete will now serve as a platform for local hiring businesses to connect their opportunities with local workers affected by the impact of the coronavirus.
