Jamestown Mall

In my first campaign for the St. Louis County Council, I promised you that I would make Jamestown Mall my top priority and that is exactly what I have done. I worked with federal, state and local officials to get the ball moving. Ultimately securing 12 million dollars to demolish the eyesore. On April 26, 2022, I passed legislation that allocated 6 million dollars to demolish the mall. I also worked with the Governor's Office to secure support from the state. After an agreement with Governor Parson, collaboration with Senator Brian Williams led to him successfully requested another 6 million dollars for the project. On September 26, 2023, demolition of the mall began.

While we have made great strides, this process is not over. I have made it clear to the St. Louis County Port Authority that they should immediately provide a request for proposal and allow developers to bid on the project. Whatever developer is chosen will have to provide a project that will be useful to all the residents of our community.

  • I will continue to work hand in hand with the Port Authority to get results regarding Jamestown Mall that we can all be proud of.
  • I have and will continue to guarantee a process that is both transparent and results that provide adequate oversite in all aspects of the project.
