The Soulard Community Improvement District (CID), in partnership with other Soulard neighborhood groups, is soliciting proposals from qualified planning and economic development consulting firms to develop a comprehensive Economic Development Strategy for the Soulard and Kosciusko neighborhoods of St. Louis, MO. The purpose of this strategy is to deliver a practical and action-oriented roadmap that supports inclusive and sustainable economic growth. It will identify specific infrastructure investments, policy recommendations, and programmatic initiatives to strengthen the business environment, attract and retain diverse commercial uses, and guide redevelopment in key corridors. The strategy should also provide guidance on strategies for balancing the growing residential demand in Soulard with the need for a vibrant, accessible, and diverse business community. This work will provide a shared framework for implementation by local stakeholders and align with current and future citywide planning efforts.
