Description

Downtown St. Louis suffered a major loss last week when one of its highest-profile tenants announced it was leaving. But one of the leaders trying to turn the neighborhood around says everything is going just fine. This week, we go inside that story and some other mixed messages on the status of downtown St. Louis. 


The conversation explores the recent announcement of Peabody Energy's move from downtown St. Louis, the implications of corporate exits on the area, and the efforts of Kurt Weigel from Greater St. Louis, Inc. to revitalize downtown through residential development and community engagement. The discussion also touches on the mixed messages regarding the success of Ballpark Village as an entertainment hub amidst ongoing challenges in the downtown area.
