Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc., consulting engineers and planners of St. Petersburg, Fla., have been selected by city officials to develop a cruise port plan for the Port of St. Petersburg.

Post, Buckley will survey existing facilities and identify what future facilities will be required for the development of a cruise port. The city hopes to have a cruise ship operating out of the port by 1982 as part of the downtown waterfront development plan.

Following the initial planning, PBS&J will analyze marketing opportunities for the Yucatan Peninsula, specifically Cancun and Cozumel, stressing the convenience of the St. Petersburg location.
