Meeting now! City of St. Louis Senior Fund board meeting. (Started at 10 am) Via MS Teams & phone. Meeting videos are not posted. Board approved tax rate after a public hearing. Agenda with Teams link & 📞 number: #STLseniorfund stlseniorfund.org/wp-content/u...

🚨 #DataCenterSTL pitch in #ArmoryTIF district! “However, it's not clear what tax incentives may be included in the proposed project or what existing tax incentives from the original development will carry over to the new project. Those details could offset the actual impact on the city’s tax base”

Alex, I’ll take What Are #ConflictsOfInterestSTL for $10,000? McBride has not recused himself from development board votes* on incentives for projects involving contributors to #NexusPAC Examples: 1) Delmar diViNe 2 (Paric). See images for #LCRAstl 2) Preservation Square (McCormack Baron Salazar)

Mayors along the Mississippi River are urging FEMA to include new, large-scale projects like wetland restoration to reduce disaster risks before they happen. “We think that’s the biggest bang for the buck for the American taxpayer."

The City of St. Louis LRA board is meeting now at 1520 Market. Zoom link on pg 1 of #LRAstl board packet: tinyurl.com/453epd2r SLDC-staffed boards should have their meetings live-streamed on YouTube. The meetings are typically uploaded to SLDC's channel on the third business day after the meeting.

Starting at 3 p.m. #LCRAstl board meeting. Live only on Zoom. Video won’t post until 9/26. For most new projects under Mayor Spencer & Otis Williams: Gone are percentages of recommended tax abatements (in resolution) & the financial analysis in the board packet. www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/d...

#BOAbreaking Per a post by Ald. Schweitzer this morning on Instagram: the petitioners (Rod Thomas of Tristar Properties/THO Investments) has asked for a continuation of the conditional use hearing on the #500Prospect site of a #DataCenterSTL Stay tuned for details. #ArmoryTIF #GreenStreetBailout

Good afternoon @caraspencer.bsky.social Quick question: Why is the City of St. Louis Building Division processing permit applications for #3728Market ? FYI: Phil Hulse owes $2.08 Million in delinquent property taxes (2022-24) on the Goodwill warehouse & $46K on the adjacent #3852Market (2023-24)

Opposition to the proposed #500Prospect data center is growing! Send comment to: Sandra Long (Zoning Plan Reviewer) at: [email protected] Include the reference number AB-586691-25 in the subject line of the email. 🔗 to the 9/25 Conditional Use Hearing notice: tinyurl.com/yc7pubne #datacenterSTL

SLDC released the video of its 9.18.25 to the public at 9 a.m. today. 1 hr 15 min. youtu.be/hBfa0ZZlqj8?... Mayor @caraspencer.bsky.social should mandate the live-streaming on Youtube of all SLDC meetings & the prompt uploading of the archive video. #TranparencyWin #BreakfastWithSLDC #SunshineSLDC

Question for @caraspencer.bsky.social @saintlouispres.bsky.social Where is the applicant’s information (required by Executive Order 92) for the #500Prospecr data center proposal posted online for public review prior to the 9/25 conditional hearing? #datacenterSTL #ArmoryTIF #SLU353

You might be curious as to why GreenStreet doesn’t currently have a registered lobbyist. Given that SLDC is most likely to be facilitating the ongoing #GreenStreetbailout, GS CEO Phil Hulse doesn’t need a lobbyist. #DataCenterSTL #500Prospect #SLU353 #ArmoryTIF

Reminder that the St. Louis Development Corp. embargoes video recordings of development board meetings. Video of the 9/18 SLDC board meeting was uploaded to SLDC's Youtube channel today, but kept hidden from the public. I expect the meeting will go public at 9 a.m. tomorrow, 9/23. #opaCITYstl /1

Lux Living-affiliated ownership at it again. Art Loft residents are without air conditioning as thermostats read in the 90s. A visit to the management office was met with an unusual response. www.ksdk.com/article/news...

A prerequisite for us to be able to come on any property is that the title needs to be in your name,” he said. “ We know that's been an issue because it's been an issue with people getting FEMA aid as well.” #STLtornado

Once, twice, maybe three times a #datacenterSTL Will the city post docs to enable the public to comment on specifics at the 9/25 Conditional Use hearing for the #500Prospect site? Some docs have been shared at a public meeting of the #SLU353 The #ArmoryTIF district also has 25 years tax abatement.

LIve now! Full BOA meeting. Vote NO on #BOAbb19 for the #JeffArmsCID #CorpWelfareHotel 🔗 to notice, agenda & Youtube livestream: www.stlouis-mo.gov/events/event...

“Schweitzer acknowledges that her prior proposal for a moratorium drew pushback from far more people than just Green Street.” Let me guess: the opponents of a moratorium on #datacentersSTL include SLDC & top contributors to city elected officials & supportive PACs. #GreenStreetBailout #500Prospect

Happy #BOAfriday Full BOA meeting at 10 a.m. Watch live on Youtube or join the lobbyist & honored guests in the gallery at City Hall. 1200 Market St., where Thoughtful is the new Transformative

How does St. Louis stay open for business while failing to hold developers accountable? SLDC has been bailing out GreenStreet out for 3 years, facilitating deals that don’t need BOA approval & writing off debts. City Hall is fine with processing GS’s data center app, despite GS owing $2M+ in taxes

The City of St. Louis plans to greenlight a data center in the #ArmoryTIF district for GreenStreet via the conditional use process. Hearing for #500Prospect is set for 9/25 at 8:30 a.m. Testify via Zoom or phone. Details: tinyurl.com/4j7vynbj Send comment in advance to: [email protected] /1

You can catch a recap of the meeting here: youtu.be/ma8TPQuDppk?...

If you want to hear Otis Williams’s diatribe about how much developers hate doing business in the City of St. Louis, watch the 9.11.25 Port Authority meeting.

"let's keep this factual driven, please" SLDC yields morsels of truth, coupled with major omissions and a notification procedure intended to minimize the possibility of members of the public finding out about the hearing. Yet Chair McBride wants to keep the meeting "factual driven." 🤣 #opaCitystl

The SLDC board approved the contract with Kea Point Solutions at its meeting on Sep. 3rd. SLDC staff sidestepped a question from Commissioner Sean Spencer about Halliday's team for the contract. The "team" is just Halliday. Per SLDC staff, he was due to arrive in St. Louis last week #ConsultantFest

Calling @caraspencer.bsky.social Is your staff tracking the creation of the 3 taxing districts for the Jefferson Arms? SLDC’s lack of transparency & failure to perform due diligence for the Port Improvement District have been a disgrace. The #JeffArmsPID petition should be halted See also #BOAbb19

”I’m very pro-development and excited that you said that this is going to open in October... that's of course without the PID dollars. So, you know, this is essentially just again moving public money to private developer pockets. And I can't be for that” - William Kay (13:19) youtu.be/Gc3kqVQt4E8

"Neighborhood associations, frustrated with an understaffed, sluggish city building division, are relying less on City Hall to fix problem properties and are instead addressing negligent owners themselves with attorney letters and litigation."

SLDC has not posted the video recording of the 9.11.25 St. Louis #PortAuthoritySTL meeting for public viewing. The video was uploaded to the SLDC YouTube channel today, but is hidden from the public. This is 💯 intentional by SLDC, who hopes that the media & public don’t watch closely. #opaCITYstl

Heads up SLDC watchers: Tuesday, Sep. 16 at 1 p.m. Special Board Meeting of the City of St. Louis Land Reutilization Authority. Report of commissioners & Executive session. (Agenda items shouldn't be denoted by colored or bold text) I suspect this is the "agenda prep" meeting for the Sep. 24 #LRAstl

Developer Alterra Worldwide returns to the SLDC incentive trough when the project is 97% complete. “We already started the project, the project’s underway, & here we are coming back to the trough, so to speak,” Cohn said. Creation of #JeffArmsPID passes 4 - 3. See also #JeffArmsCID & #BOAbb19

Tioday’ SLDC selection committee meeting started at 12:08 p m. The 4 member committee voted to go into closed session to discuss contracts. RFP for executive search services. SLDC needs a closed session soundtrack. Lizzy perhaps? IYKYK. Agenda with Zoom link: www.stlouis-mo.gov/government/d...

Cruel, greedy & heartless……meet Ameren MO. “In November, the Public Service Commission will hold a hearing in the case, and reply briefs are due in early January.”

The City of St. Louis needs to move quickly to regulate #STLDataCenters Story on the 9/10 Planning Commission meeting by @stephkukuljan.bsky.social The P.C. meetings are not live-streamed on Youtube. Video has yet to be uploaded, as of 3:50 p.m. The recording will be posted at tinyurl.com/592dm422

The St. Louis Development Corporation must start swearing in developers/consultants/lobbyists who appear before boards and commissions staffed by the agency.

happy #BOA Friday! The Alders are back in town. Watch today’s full session meeting, which started at 10 a.m. www.youtube.com/live/HPn62GH... Prepare for movement on #BOAbb19 for the #JeffArmsCID, one of THREE taxing districts for the hotel/apartments/retail project. #JeffArmsTIF approved in 2017

Calling @caraspencer.bsky.social ! GreenStreet/TriStar Properties should withdraw the application to build a data center at #500Prospect, within the #ArmoryTIF district (image 4) FYI: GreenStreet owes the City of St. Louis over $2.1 M in delinquent property taxes. See #DeadbeatDeveloper for info.

3:20 p.m. SLDC update: The special subcommittee* of the SLDC board charged with the search for a new executive director has been meeting in closed session for over an hour. RFP for “executive recruitment services.” Meeting started at 2:08 p.m. *Members: Hawes, McBride, Sonnier, Clark-Hubbard.

“We already started the project, the project’s underway, & here we are coming back to the trough, so to speak,” Cohn said. Thanks to #PortAuthoritySTL members Cohn, Kay & Mason for voting NO on the #JeffArmsPID Shameful performance by SLDC & Alterra's consultant N. Hartzler #JeffArmsTIF #JeffArmsCID
