St. Louis, MO – A key figure in Forest Park's revitalization during the past decade is stepping down.

Jim Mann will leave as president of Forest Park Forever in April to work for the Jack Taylor family.

The Taylors founded Enterprise Rent-A-Car and worked with Mann last year when they donated $5 million to the park.

Mann says it's a good time to leave because Forest Park Forever is in good fiscal shape.

He told KWMUs Tom Weber that his first day on the job reflects the kinds of changes that have happened since.
