The city has made progress on two prominent vacant buildings in the past year, but rebounding from a “real estate nightmare” will take many more years.

The employee confirms several staffers were terminated, and the park could be down dozens of workers for peak visitor season.

The funding comes from the Great American Outdoors Act, a Trump administration measure that supports recreational access on public lands — as well as their upkeep.

The Gateway Arch’s new, LED lighting system will turn on each night with a dramatic, 30-second sequence. Officials say the lights will save energy and pose less of a threat to migrating birds.
