The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recently informed Wellston residents that they plan to demolish their public housing. HUD should give the mayor and residents time to develop an alternative housing plan before going ahead with their plans. Legal Services of Eastern Missouri has already asked HUD to delay demolition and the mayor of Wellston has already been talking to investors, but they need time! It would be a shame to break up this community or over five hundred people. If we can develop Cortex and some of North St. Louis, we can surely help with the development of Wellston.
