Committed to Raise the B.A.R. in
St. Petersburg and Tampa

The cornerstone of Raise the B.A.R. St. Petersburg’s partnership with local governments is its commitment to Building Accountability and Responsibility on taxpayer-funded capital improvement and infrastructure projects. When responsible contractors win bids on public projects, local governments and the communities they represent all win. Elected officials ensure that contractors certify that they are responsible contractors, and residents have faith that there are no bad actors performing construction in their community. With Raise the B.A.R. St. Petersburg’s commitment to train area residents and workers and connect them with career opportunities in the construction industry in a transparent and accountable way, Raise the B.A.R. St. Petersburg gives elected officials the tools they need to show how local governments can serve their constituents and improve the lives of residents.
