McKEE PLAN UPDATE
A “dream team” of activist lawyers (led by venerable Bevis Shock) may be trying to erect a roadblock in court to developer Paul McKee‘s plans to transform a swath of north St. Louis, but McKee himself seems unfazed by their arguments. While the nay-saying lawyers argued that McKee’s Northside Transformation plan was illusory, McKee and his own lawyers were quietly acquiring additional property for the project on Friday.


Wake up people! We need development like yesterday. We can not run a city on a population of 360,000 when we once boasted a population of 800,000 plus. We all can and must work together. This plan, while mind boggling to some is necessary. I personally, like the fact that he has the vision to “mix” the income levels and housing to inclued low to moderate, middle and dare we say upper income folks. Iron sharpens iron! We can no longer do piece meal, jack legged, second rate projects. If only a third of the projections are reached, it would be a move in the right direction for St.Louis!
