ST. LOUIS – The St. Louis Mayor’s Office has announced a plan to invest $12 million in Rams interest funds toward tornado relief, primarily for debris removal and intermediate housing.
The plan currently consists of allocating:
- $5.35 million for private property debris removal
- $5 million in intermediate housing
- $1.65 million for recovery office services
These funds will be used to provide dumpsters for nonprofits and community groups; consulting services; recovery officer staffing; and repairs to make hundreds of affordable, public, and nonprofit vacancies immediately available for tornado victims in need of shelter.
Such plans could be formally approved as soon as next week…
