The City of St.
Louis wants residents’ thoughts on how to spend the money from the Rams settlement.
The city is considering a bill to spend $230 million from the settlement, with $110 million going to north city, to support residents whose homes were damaged in last year’s devastating tornado.
The other $120 million would be split between projects to revitalize downtown ($55 million) and to improve the city’s infrastructure ($65 million), including at least $30 million to repair St.
Louis’ aging drinking water pipes and other water systems.
The city is gathering residents' opinions on the plan in a survey it opened up last week.
St.
Louisans will have until the end of the day on May 27 to fill it out.
The survey results will be shared with elected officials.
At a rally led by Action St.
Louis last week, activists and north city residents demanded the city allocate $40 million more to tornado recovery.
Some members of the St.
Louis Board of Aldermen want to devote more of the Rams settlement money to rebuilding north city than others.
But many of them say that not even the full $230 million would be enough to make residents whole.
The storm caused an estimated $1.6 billion in damage.
The city will also hold its first public hearing on the Rams settlement bill at 11 a.m.
May 26 at City Hall during a Housing, Urban Development and Zoning Committee meeting.
