The St. Louis County Council last month voted to approve $10 million to support the development of the planned North County Business and Workforce District on South Campus at the University of Missouri–St. Louis.
The funding will add to $80 million the university has received from the state of Missouri over the past three years as it works to transform and modernize its campus while working to meet the needs of students now and in the future. Through those efforts, UMSL is establishing an academic core on North Campus and freeing up land for mixed-use redevelopment south of Natural Bridge Road.
Plans for the district call for new investments in North St. Louis County that will have a positive impact on surrounding communities by attracting new businesses, employees and eventually amenities and services like a childcare center, grocery store, restaurants and other mixed use commercial and residential spaces.
