St. Louis, MO – People who live near the now-destroyed Praxair plant in south St. Louis met with company officials Tuesday night for and update.

No one was hurt when the plant exploded in June, sending gas cylinders into the Lafayette Square neighborhood. But 134 claims have been filed by homeowners and others near the plant.

Praxair has so far settled just over half of them.

The company still is working with city leaders to find another place to move.
