I just happened across this post which has some good news to share. Apparently the St. Louis area will be receiving $14.8 million in federal grant money. Here is an excerpt from the post:
The money is being provided through the Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), which was enacted in 2008 to assist state and local governments in addressing the impact of abandoned and foreclosed properties in the nation’s communities.
Hopefully this money will do some good for revitalizing the less trendy parts of the city. I guess we will have to wait and see.
