As we wrote about in the Post-Dispatch last week, state and local governments are working on plans to deal with the aftermath of foreclosures, setting aside funds to help redevelop neighborhoods that have been hardest hit.
Now, those plans are available online, and those governments are taking public comment on their ideas through Dec. 1. The state of Missouri has also published how it’ll divvy up a big chunk of cash it’s getting from the federal government.
First, the plans (be forewarned, they’re technical, and big, but interesting reading):
The City of St. Louis has its plan online here.
St. Louis County is here.
St. Clair County here.
Missouri’s statewide plan is here.
And Illinois’ here. The public comment on the Illinois plan runs through Nov. 21.
In its plan the Missouri Department of Economic Development broke out how it wants to spend the first chunk of the $42.7 million it’s receiving from the feds. Local recipients include:
* St. Louis County: $6.3 million (plus $9.4 million directly from the federal government)
* St. Louis City: $2.3 million (plus $5.5 million directly from the federal government)
