Pinellas County commissioners voted again Tuesday night to delay a key vote on a deal to build a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium. Why it matters: Another delay means more uncertainty over a region-defining plan to transform the site of Tropicana Field into a new ballpark surrounded by a redeveloped Historic Gas Plant District.

The vote to delay the purchase of bonds to construct a new stadium came shortly after a letter from the Rays to the commission said the delays are making the deal unaffordable.
