The city has made progress on two prominent vacant buildings in the past year, but rebounding from a “real estate nightmare” will take many more years.

The U.S. Census Bureau’s population estimates show the 15 counties across the St. Louis region gained 6,420 new people last year, while the City of St. Louis lost 3,077 residents over the same period.

Legislation from Alderwoman Cara Spencer would establish a mechanism for the city to reimburse 85% of Anders’ payroll, earnings and net profit taxes on new hires at the firm.
