Greater St. Louis, Inc. Interim CEO Dustin Allison has expressed disappointment following a Board of Aldermen meeting in St. Louis concerning the allocation of funds from the Rams settlement. In a statement released after the meeting, Allison emphasized the urgent needs facing St. Louis and criticized the board's inaction.
"St. Louis has pressing needs that require bold action and major investment," Allison stated. He noted that "today’s lack of action by the Board of Aldermen means those urgent needs continue to go unmet."
Allison urged the city to utilize Rams settlement funds to tackle issues such as depopulation in North St. Louis and revitalization efforts Downtown, aiming to increase the city's population and expand its tax base.
He concluded by affirming Greater St. Louis, Inc.'s commitment to fostering growth and investment in neglected neighborhoods and Downtown when the Board reconvenes for its next session.
