No, that would be rejected by DED. See my post above about boundaries. The language is clear enough that DED will reject any unreasonable embellishment of Central Business District. City's will likely get away with buffering existing CBD definitions but won't get away with including other defined neighborhoods, regardless of density/built environment. DED is considering impact on state revenue. Too large of a district will be difficult to justify.

Interesting. I wonder if Kehoe will read those tea leaves.dbInSouthCity wrote: ↑12:46 PM - TodayThe business community, at least on this side of the state, is starting to lose a little patience with Mike Kehoe. A lot of people thought they were getting the Kehoe that had been around since joining the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission 15 years ago, somebody seen as pragmatic and business-oriented. Instead, what many feel they’re getting is basically Eric Schmitt 2.0. People forget Schmitt won “Legislator of the Year” from the Riverfront Times back in 2016 before shifting hard MAGA to win statewide. Kehoe made a similar move politically, but a lot of the business community expected him to pivot back once elected, and so far they don’t think he has.
I think you’re going to see a major split emerge over the income tax issue. As much as Kehoe wants to compare Missouri to places like Tennessee or Florida, it’s just not the same economic structure, growth pattern, or tourism base. I think you’ll see the business community put a significant amount of money behind defeating it.
Based on his behavior in office so far, it doesn't seem like he would. He's really pivoted to right-populism slop and gone fuller MAGA than I thought he would (see STLAlex's post without the personal racism attacks)

He cares deeply about STL. He grew up in north STL. But he’s white so most posters on this board won’t get behind him.
Imagine trying to make the case that the rural used car dealer who white-fled the city cares deeply about the city lmao.
Also, you're racist. As if "posters" on here don't like Mike Kehoe because he's white. Shows what level you're operating on.

Secondly, it was Parsons who moved the office out of downtown.

Happy 2 year anniversary of Gateway Credit Union announcing that it’s leaving downtown and still not left
