Remember when a ProPublica expose revealed St. Louis' penchant for paying for private police forces staffed by off-duty officers — on top of what we already pay in taxes for the police department?

Come out and join us as we raise money to help acquire vacant and abandoned properties along the South Grand Blvd Corridor, South of Gravois Rd. TGCDC, from it’s 2022-2026 business plan, identified this part of South Grand Blvd as a concentrated geography for future investments. This approach worked extremely well for the 3600-2700 blocks of Bamberger Ave and Hydraulic Ave where TGCDC owns and manages about 50 units of affordable housing and has reclaimed and renovated about a dozen vacant properties.

At the event, we will celebrate David Tallent for his Communuity Service through the Better Bevo Now Neighborhood Association , Carol Howard for her civil service as Alderwoman of the former 14th Ward, and Joe Ambrose, First Bank, for his Community Impact through banking.
