Jamestown Mall redevelopment planning

The cost to take down Jamestown Mall and prepare the land for redevelopment is being covered by $6 million coming from St. Louis County and $6 million from the state of Missouri.

The St. Louis County Port Authority approved $1.5 million for environmental remediation which was completed in September. This work included environmental abatement, asbestos removal, and other pre-demolition preparation work.

The STL Partnership continued to work with the St. Louis County Port Authority to determine the highest and best use for the

$1.9 million site through a market feasibility study, which included a process to incorporate community input. The

County’s Planning Department served on the Advisory Committee for the feasibility study.

awarded for Brownfields cleanups

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded a $1.9 million Brownfields grant to the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority (LCRA) of St. Louis County. This funding will help expand the current cleanup and redevelopment work in North County communities. The LCRA was one of 39 high-performing Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund Grant recipients.

The LCRA’s Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund Program has committed more than $1 million to Brownfields cleanup projects, leveraging more than $24 million in investment. These projects in St. Louis County have led to the revitalization of the Heege Neighborhood Retail Center, Lemay riverfront, and the former River Roads Mall in Jennings.
