LOUIS CITY BEGAN CONSTRUCTION ON THE JEFFERSON NATIONAL EXPANSION MEMORIAL. BLOCKS OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES WERE CLEARED IN PREPARATION FOR THE PROJECT, WHICH
FLUID CONNECTIONS
WOULD CREATE A MONUMENTAL AXIS CONNECTING EAST TO WEST. INFRASTRUCTURAL PROJECTS SUCH AS THE GATEWAY ARCH AND INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS FAILED TO STIMULATE ECONOMIC RESURGENCE WITHIN THE CITY, BUT THEY HAVE LEFT A LASTING MARK ON THE ST. LOUIS LANDSCAPE.
TODAY, THE DOWNTOWN AREA IS THE FIRST PART OF THE CITY TO EXPERIENCE GROWTH SINCE ITS REDESIGN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 20TH CENTURY. TO CAPITALIZE ON THIS GROWTH, THE TRADITIONAL GLASS-BLOWING
