Commercial Corridors as Open Doors: A Tour of The Delmar Divide
Speakers
Description
Delmar Boulevard is a street in St. Louis which marks a dramatic difference in income, race, and property ownership. Community developers are working to lessen the gap by returning vacant and deteriorated buildings to productive use to serve the majority-Black neighborhood north of Delmar. On this mobile workshop, participants will visit a former hospital turned co-working/living space, arts and culture venues, and the job-training organization LaunchCode along Delmar, and hear how a culture of collaboration along the corridor has contributed to revitalization efforts.
