This month, St. Louis Mayor Cara Spencer and Board of Aldermen President Megan Green announced a bill allocating $230 million of Ram’s Settlement dollars: $110M to go to North St. Louis, $65 million to city-wide infrastructure improvements, $55 million to Downtown revitalization, and a $25 million reserve.
The City of St. Louis has many immediate and urgent needs; the Rams Bill addresses some of the most important. This bill ensures the majority of funding helps rebuild North St. Louis, while also addressing aging infrastructure and making targeted investments in Downtown that can help drive job creation, economic activity, and long-term growth across the city and region.
The Bottom Line
Downtown St. Louis is the economic engine for the City of St. Louis — and the entire region. Smart commitments to Downtown today will create exponential returns for years to come. We must boldly invest in the recovery of North St. Louis and citywide infrastructure while generating sustainable economic growth and tax revenue, starting Downtown.
