Kirkwood’s Downtown Transformation | St. Louis News

Kirkwood is selling its public works site on South Fillmore for $50 million to build a 202-unit apartment complex, aiming to revitalize downtown with new residents who’ll spend at local businesses and support the arts. While city officials see this as an economic boost, critics worry long-term tax breaks could hurt schools already facing rising costs. Supporters counter that increased density strengthens the tax base. The city council will vote on the deal this Thursday, just after celebrating the renovated historic train station.
