Kaid Benfield, Director of the Smart Growth Program at the National Resources Defense Council, has once again praised Old North St. Louis revitalization efforts on his blog. In 2008, he published several blog posts about the ongoing revitalization of Old North St. Louis, and yesterday he posted an update.
Benfield writes, "Last year, I could hardly contain my enthusiasm when I learned what has been going on in the Old North neighborhood of St. Louis, a once-thriving community that went through massive decline. As I wrote last year, it is being brought back in a thoughtful, inclusive, diverse, grassrootsy sort of way, but with some terrific organizational support from the Old North Restoration Group and financial investment from the Regional Housing and Community Development Alliance, among a bevy of supporters. "My own view is that no other single category of activity is more important to sustainable development than revitalization. When done properly, it's great for residents old and new, great for cities, and great for the environment." Read the rest of Benfield's post here: |

"Through funding, financing, training, and just plain hard work, RHCDA has made a tremendous difference in our neighborhood. When we have questions, they're there. They give amazing advice. They stick around. They even come to our annual neighborhood pot luck dinner, covered dishes in hand." - Johnnie Owens, Resident, Old North St. Louis Neighborhood |
