Neighborhood Revitalization

Construction is expected to begin next summer on the historic Eliot Elementary School in St. Louis’ Fairground neighborhood. The school will become an addiction treatment center that also addresses homelessness and mental health issues.

The park replaces two previously vacant lots with a few disk golf cages, several metal flower planters, benches and sculptures from local youth artists.

The new wellness center, once completed, will offer a place to help men recover from addiction in a region that only has a handful of detox beds.
