WOOD RIVER - A developer has canceled their plans to build a wedding venue in Wood River’s Belk Part after a lengthy public hearing last week where 17 residents spoke against the project. Knotting Hills Wedding & Event Venue , with one location in Pevely, Mo., will likely relocate the project elsewhere. “We are disappointed that the acts of some residents have resulted in the developer of the possible wedding venue pulling their interest in Wood River,” Mayor Tom Stalcup wrote in a statement on Facebook . “We were looking forward to growing that relationship.” “Many other municipalities have reached out to this developer and we wish them nothing but success wherever they choose to locate. We hope that actions of some do not tarnish the reputation our community has built to being a business and development friendly municipality.” Mayor Stalcup further clarified those “actions of some” as “threats and personal attacks”
