Four historic north St. Louis buildings are slated for $5.5 million in repairs to prevent further deterioration. They include sites with ties to music royalty.
One year after emergency repairs were supposed to be completed at Plaza East, 39 units are still waiting on fixes. Meanwhile, in late May, the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development gave the complex a failing score of 40 out of 100 following physical inspection.
The April 4 election will determine the representatives of St. Louis' new 13-ward Board of Aldermen. In addition to selecting legislative representatives at City Hall, voters will also decide on a sales tax on marijuana and whether to create a commission to regularly review the city’s charter.
