Old Webster Business District 04/28/2026

The City of Webster Groves held a meeting on April 28, 2026, focusing primarily on community and business district updates. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a presentation by the Webster Groves Community Land Trust, a nonprofit aiming to address affordable housing by purchasing land and selling homes at below-market prices to working middle-class residents. The trust highlighted their first home purchase and sought community support and referrals. Additionally, discussions included event planning and volunteer coordination for upcoming district events, potential parking lot leasing opportunities with a business property owner offering a 42-spot lot for $15,000 annually, and updates on city council activities such as a fire authority feasibility study and recreation center improvements. The police chief also provided updates on community safety initiatives, including a new safety program launching in July and efforts to ensure business security at night. No formal votes or contract awards related to procurement were recorded during this meeting.
