St. Louis leaders seek public input on plan to revitalize areas hit by May 16 tornado

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - City leaders are developing long-term plans for revitalization and new investment in north St. Louis neighborhoods hit by the May 2025 tornado, and they want to hear from residents, business owners and community groups.

City leaders wrapped up a meeting Thursday to outline plans for eight north St. Louis neighborhoods, including Hamilton Heights, Wells-Goodfellow and College Hill.

The plan focuses on rebuilding the areas by adding quality housing and other amenities. It also includes a push to improve safety and walkability and to create new opportunities for more businesses to move in.

Two other public meetings are scheduled next week for people who want to take a closer look at the plan and offer feedback.

The first is Monday, Nov. 16, at the Julia Davis Library at 4415 Natural Bridge. The second is Tuesday, Nov. 17, at the Bayer YMCA at 5555 Page Blvd.
