  1. Louis Could Sell a Downtown Park– City officials are considering selling InterCo Plaza, a small fenced-off park downtown, to the StarWood Group, which owns the former Post-Dispatch building now home to Block Inc. The company wants to turn the space into a parking lot, citing safety issues and a lack of nearby parking. Some aldermen raised concerns about losing green space and whether the sale requires a public vote. The proposal passed out of committee and is now headed to the full Board of Aldermen.

  2. Charles County Zoning Commission Deadlocked on 470-Home Subdivision– A plan to build 470 homes west of Lake Saint Louis hit a roadblock after the county zoning commission split its vote. The proposed “Trailside Farms” development would turn 200 acres of farmland into single-family homes and townhomes. Supporters say it balances growth with preserved green space, while critics worry about traffic, water pressure, and overcrowded schools. The project now goes to the County Council, which will need a supermajority to approve it on November 10.
