Councilwoman Webb seeks clarity on Youth on the Rise closure in Spanish Lake, announces Jamestown Mall town hall
Summary
Councilwoman Webb asked county executive staff for information about the possible closure of a Spanish Lake youth-services site called Youth on the Rise and announced a town hall May 22 with the Port Authority on Jamestown Mall demolition and next steps.
Councilwoman Webb told the council she has received constituent concerns about the closing of Youth on the Rise, a youth-services storefront in Spanish Lake, and asked county executive staff to provide clarity to her office before she fields media inquiries.
"If someone can provide me some clarity, I don't know if Beth can, Danielle as the liaison, Kyle, doctor Paige, Doug, anyone," Webb said, asking staff to contact her office with details on the site's status and any plans.
She noted the site's original purpose from a 2007 feasibility study was to provide an outlet for at-risk youth in Spanish Lake and warned that alternatives such as the North County Rec Center and libraries are considerably farther for many residents without reliable transportation.
Webb also announced a Jamestown Mall town hall at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 22, at the Hazelwood East Auditorium featuring members of the St. Louis County Port Authority to discuss demolition progress and next steps following roughly 15 months of demolition work.
