Cities are built of bricks, steel, and glass. Good cities also have green space, art, and a distinct sense of place. Cities are built with and by people who shape the values, culture and built environment of any given place. The best cities are also built by stories, metaphors, and myths. The Big Apple and the Big Easy are two great American cities with distinguishing stories that are as meaningful and important as the buildings and people who built them. 

The City Builder Award honors one individual who has made a momentous contribution to building St. Pete's urban center and whose values and commitment to community set them apart from other investors or developers.

St. Petersburg is still a young city.  By preserving and sharing the stories of the people who helped to build this urban center, we hope to help shape the values of future leaders, guiding our evolution as we reinforce the things that have helped to make this such a special place. 

Darryl A LeClair

Darryl's ethics and force of will has helped to shape St. Pete's built environment, collaborate culture, economic success, and urban vibrancy.
