Work is officially underway for St. Louis’ highly anticipated expansion of the America’s Center Convention Complex expansion project. Regional leaders came together in mid-May in downtown St. Louis to celebrate the groundbreaking of the project, known as AC Next Gen. Last updated in 1995, the $210 million facelift will bring a new 75,000-square-foot exhibit hall and new entrance on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. & 9th Streets, infused with daylight, featuring tall ceilings and networking lounges.
Jane Dueker, lobbyist and attorney for the Fraternal Order of Police, announced she will run against St. Louis County Executive Sam Page in the Democratic primary.
