Councilwoman Webb seeks clarity on Youth on the Rise closure in Spanish Lake, announces Jamestown Mall town hall
Summary
Councilwoman Webb asked county staff for information about the reported closure of Youth on the Rise, a Spanish Lake youth program, and announced a town hall on Jamestown Mall demolition with the St. Louis County Port Authority set for May 22 in Hazelwood.
Councilwoman Webb on Tuesday asked the County Executive and county staff for clarity about reports that Youth on the Rise, a youth services storefront in Spanish Lake, is closing.
"If someone can provide me some clarity, I don't know if Beth can, Danielle as the liaison, Kyle, doctor Paige, Doug, anyone," said Councilwoman Webb, noting community members had contacted her about the site's status and that the facility is one of the few local youth outlets for Spanish Lake. Webb said she had spoken with a program director, Amber Banner, who told her the organization was "considering ideas," but Webb reported she had been told the actual site is closing and requested follow-up from county staff before she responds to constituents.
Webb also announced a town hall meeting for District 4 residents on Thursday, May 22, at 6 p.m. at Hazelwood East Auditorium about Jamestown Mall. She said demolition is nearly complete and that representatives from the St. Louis County Port Authority will attend to discuss next steps.
Discussion/Decision: Webb's comments were made during councilmember remarks and requested information and staff follow-up; no formal vote or new policy action was taken at the meeting.
Ending: Webb urged county staff to contact her office with details for constituent briefings and invited residents to the town hall on May 22.
