Old Orchard Business District 08/11/2026

The City of Webster Groves held a meeting on August 11, 2026, focused on holiday lighting options for the Old Orchard Business District. The discussion centered on selecting decorative lighting styles, including garland with red bows district-wide and double wreath skylines at each end of the district, particularly east of Murdock. The group agreed to forego pole-mounted lights due to budget and aesthetic considerations. A motion to approve the double wreath skyline lighting was made, seconded, and passed. The meeting also touched on potential future improvements such as wayfinding enhancements and the feasibility of adding electrical outlets for lighting. Action items include ordering the approved decorations and verifying measurements and installation logistics with a vendor named James.
