\u00a0\u00a0 Future of property still undecided<\/em><\/p>\n

Following years of proposals and frustrations, the demolition of the former Jamestown Mall is underway for the property at Old Jamestown Road and Highway 67. It had been closed in 2014 and was frequently vandalized since then.<\/p>\n

A formal beginning for the demolition of once vibrant mall began Sept. 26 attended by 150 people or more with several political people speaking. The land and buildings was under the St. Louis County Port Authority which approved a $7.3 million contract with Target Contractors beating out a dozen other companies.<\/p>\n

The demolition work followed by grading to a green space should last into late spring or early summer of 2024. A 2018 proposal to turn the property into an industrial logistics park and distribution center was shelved in 2021.<\/p>\n

After collecting more public feedback, a December 2022 Market Analysis and Feasibility Study identified an Agriculture-Food Technology campus as a \u201cpreferred direction\u201d for the site. They would work with other regional Ag-tech efforts in the region,<\/p>\n

The future of the site still has to be decided. Options in the 2022 market study included senior housing featuring assisted living and single-family homes, and some commercial development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
