St. Louis, MO, September 8, 2026 — The St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) has released a new development map that details significant investment in north St. Louis neighborhoods affected by a recent tornado. The map identifies a total of $337 million in housing and business projects that are currently either underway or in the planning and design stages.

These projects represent a substantial effort towards recovery and redevelopment in the tornado-impacted areas of north St. Louis. The mapped initiatives include both new construction and revitalization efforts aimed at rebuilding and enhancing the community. The total figure of $337 million encompasses projects that have secured funding and are moving forward, either in active construction or advanced design phases.

Beyond the projects with confirmed development plans, the SLDC’s map also flags additional initiatives that are identified as having funding gaps. These projects are part of the broader strategy to address the long-term needs of the affected neighborhoods, indicating that further financial commitments may be required to bring them to fruition. The inclusion of these projects on the map highlights the ongoing challenges and the scope of redevelopment required following the tornado’s impact.

The development map serves as a tool for stakeholders, including residents, businesses, and potential investors, to understand the landscape of current and planned development in the north St. Louis areas. It underscores the commitment to supporting the community’s recovery and fostering future growth. The specific timelines for the completion of projects under construction or in the design phase were not detailed in the information provided, nor were the exact timelines of the tornado event itself. The map’s creation is part of ongoing recovery and redevelopment efforts being coordinated by the SLDC.
