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.

 

RHCDA is Regional Housing and Community Development Alliance, a nonprofit organization that creates and supports the alliances that make smart, sustainable neighborhood revitalization possible in the St. Louis region.

"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."
