Update (18 June) – The city voted 5-0 to support the Ready for 100 initiative.

The discussion and vote will begin at 7:00 p.m. at Safety Harbor City Hall, which is at 750 Main Street.

If it advances, Safety Harbor would become the 4th city in Pinellas County, the 9th in Florida and the 127th in the U.S. to make such a commitment.
