Alderwoman Builds Home on Free Land | St. Louis News

Former alderwoman Tammika Hubbard is moving forward with building a $1.2M home on a vacant lot in Carr Square — land she received for free decades ago from her family’s nonprofit. Now, the Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority is granting her an 80% tax abatement for ten years, kicking in after construction. She’s the only family member to apply for a permit, despite others having received similar land without payment. The move reignites questions about transparency, especially since her family’s nonprofit once held a city contract of the same value — later terminated after scrutiny. Hubbard has already apologized for past outreach to aldermen on related matters, and insists she won’t need to live on the property to qualify for the break.
