If you missed the Crown Square ribbon cutting and street festival last month, you still have a chance to experience the excitement of the evening. Marvo Entertainment, an independent documentary production company, came to the Crown Square ribbon cutting and is using footage from the event as a promotional piece for America Revisited, their upcoming PBS series on historic preservation efforts across the country. Their five minute video is currently posted on their website and eventually will become part of a full-length episode that will air on PBS in the future. Click here now to watch the video on Marvo Entertainment's website. |

) today to RSVP for the next RHCDA Group Training concerning data and how it relates to economic development. Housing is one important component to improving the quality of neighborhoods. However, quality business and commercial developments that serve and complement these neighborhoods are also important. RHCDA will provide important information and available resources to better understand demographic and market information for Community Development Corporations to be able to use. This informational will highlight the assets and market opportunities of consistently misrepresented, underserved urban neighborhoods. With better data come better investment opportunities. The content will highlight how community development professionals can gather data to support these overlooked urban markets by delivering the information about a community's economic health that is needed to make critically important investments possible and partnering with investors, municipalities, and community leaders to leverage this valuable information in the decision-making process. Informational on Data Management and Mapping of Neighborhood Business and Economic Development Activity Date: Thursday, September 9, 2010 Time: 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Location: Harris Stowe State University Southwestern Bell Library - Seminar Room |

Crown Square is the most significant redevelopment to take place in the Old North Saint Louis historic neighborhood in many decades. This ambitious undertaking includes the historic rehabilitation of 27 buildings into 80 mixed-income apartments, townhouses, lofts and live-work spaces and 34,000 square feet of street level commercial space, with an array of "green building" features built into the development. It includes the removal of the two-block long "pedestrian mall," tying the neighborhood back together with new streets, sidewalks, lighting, parking and other public amenities. If you are unable to make the street festival, please stop by soon and see the amazing transformation for yourself! |

"Since our first partnership with RHCDA helped us create the Lillian Park development of mixed-income quality housing, crime in that neighborhood has declined by more than 50% and residents feel like they can sit on their front porches again. It feels like a community. And even though that partnership was initiated some years ago, RHCDA is still very much engaged in that neighborhood, helping us to serve our residents and keep them involved." - Toni Cousins, Executive Director, Riverview-West Florissant Development Corporation |
