North St. Louis

Development of a St. Louis Negro Leagues baseball museum is moving forward after a vote from the Board of Aldermen on Friday. The board approved a redevelopment plan for the project. The approximately $17 million development will also include the construction of 34 senior housing units.

Since April 2023, the project concentrated along the 3600 and 3700 blocks of Hebert Street has rehabilitated 10 homes and newly constructed eight.

St. Louis' Prop NS funds help North Grand Neighborhood Services take on a giant task — one house at a time.

A St. Louis nursing home’s abrupt closure in late 2023 upended the lives of more than 170 residents and families. Advocates and politicians called for its directors to be held accountable, but a $56,000 fine from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services could be the only penalty.

The funds were initially allocated in 2021, but the original legislation had challenges to it and needed to be revised, said SLDC President Neal Richardson.

The new wellness center, once completed, will offer a place to help men recover from addiction in a region that only has a handful of detox beds.

Recipients of 2023 Neighborhood Transformation Grants discuss how they’re using that money to transform St. Louis neighborhoods.

“Economic justice is a team sport. Government cannot do this alone," said Mayor Tishaura Jones. "When done in collaboration with our philanthropic civic and private sector partners, we can make a lasting difference for generations to come."

The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is fining the directors of the closed Northview Village nursing home more than $18,000 for each day they violated federal rules. Advocates for residents of long-term care facilities say it's not enough.

Mayor Tishaura Jones signed legislation Tuesday clearing the way for the city to force the sale of certain private properties near the NGA’s new headquarters that are unoccupied, vacant, condemned or otherwise a nuisance.
