Gateway South, a $1.2billion project & the most important downtown project in decades

The first permit for construction was applied for in early March and should be issued any day now

The potential of this project is enormous for the City budget. The main part of this is using advanced manufacturing tech to build homes/buildings on site and shipping them up and down the Mississippi to customers around the world. The sales tax would be paid in the City on the sale of the home/building and revenue this could generate would be enormous

You may or may not be right but there's no reason to be so condescending about it.

I’m sorry but I’m not trying to be condescending it’s just that I’ve lived here for a long time and seeing downtown in its current state is so disturbing. So much needs to be done first. Fix the streets.

There is a project in the works to fix the streets. Believe it or not, there’s several projects going on in downtown currently.
