$30 million rehab plan to save Wellston public housing complex

St. Louis Post Dispatch reported on Sept. 4, 2020 – the plan is ‘a win-win for everbody’

U.S. Rep. William Lacy Clay, St. Louis County Exec. Sam Page, Wellston Mayor Nate Griffin and Sen. Brian Williams joined Wellston residents to celebrate a $30 million deal to renovate a long-troubled public housing complex that at one time faced demolition.

Wellston needs investment, not demolition. No one should be forced to leave a community they love.
