KMOX - In Unanimous Vote, Clayton Board Approves Incentives For Centene Expansion

Barring any frivolous lawsuits, I say, "Let's get this party started". 
You can't go wrong with Claycorp (CRG) and Centene.
Both firms have demonstrated consistently that they get things done.

Some pretty big changes to the overall plan. Much better, IMO:

What a b****. I hate anti-growth, anti-progressive, job crushers like her. 
I would love to know if she's a St. Louis-area native or did she move to St. Louis from the backwoods of Missouri.
These people help to keep St. Louis stuck in 1904. There's nearly $800-million being invested with this project, but you are complaining about a $73-million abatement? That's only ten percent of the overall investment.
The City of Clayton BOA kicked their asses by the unanimous vote in favor of the project. She lost and now she's among the few that are left barking like wounded puppies.
I honestly think these people want kickbacks for their silence - a Mercedes? A Bentley? I wonder about these folks.
It might be unnecessary, but it sure would be nice if St. Louis City countered with a nice, irresistible package.

^ your bringing up Centene in the City makes me wonder what things would have been like down at BPV if they had decided to make the move back in '09 or whenever it was... with their explosive growth the past few years I could kind of see an alternative universe where BPV already is largely built out with mixed-uses and it being difficult for Centene to expand there. So they take up some space in the still solid, but lower-energy Clayton CBD.

Eh. Here's a nice little bio about the lady from a few years ago. I'm just guessing here but I could see her motivation stemming from her feeling like a David vs. Goliath, small private practice of doctors whose business is becoming increasingly expensive vs. the huge medical corporations getting all kinds of tax breaks from local, state, federal government.

This is getting built, no matter what that kook has to say.

Any word or movement on this? Also, are there any concerns about how the repealing of ACA could affect their business model/future plans?

From what I know, groundbreaking is set for February. I'm not sure from the ACA aspect of things, but I do know the expansion is to proceed as planned.chaifetz10 wrote:Any word or movement on this?

^Yes there is, but that doesn't really connect to Centene at this stage of the game.

ACA (Ambetter) membership is north of 1mil members now but is still just a small portion of Centene's business. I think that department will just have to be flexible and morph into whatever ACA turns into in a couple years.chaifetz10 wrote: ↑Jan 18, 2017Any word or movement on this?

From today's BJ article print edition
"Construction crews are scheduled to begin excavation and shoring February 1 and foundation work in April. Construction of phase 1, which will include an office tower, parking garage, and retail space, is expected to be mostly complete in 2019. Construction of phase II, which is now split into three parts and includes another office tower, structured parking, the auditorium and retail space would begin in late 2019 and mostly completed by 2022."
^Interesting. That's a different timeline than the more tiered approach which nextstl previously posted.

From a friend who is close to the process, he says construction begins tomorrow, and that two tower cranes will be up by late March.

STLtoday running headline story of a residents' challenge to put the proposal before voters.
Seems to me it has already been greenlit by all necessary parties. Anyone have better knowledge of the legal hurdles remaining?

Doubtful. This has already been approved. They have permits to do the foundation work already if I'm not mistaken. The only way forward for the opposition is to delay the latter parts of the project, which even then my friend says those are a done deal. He even asserts that the hotel/office building next to the Metrolink station could very well get underway in mid 2018.newstl2020 wrote:STLtoday running headline story of a residents' challenge to put the proposal before voters.

My guess is that the Board of Alderman will throw this out and green light construction.

A different thought, does this conveniently set up the group to oppose the high rise development proposed on Clayton's city owned property? In other words, the group knows Centene is green lighted but uses Centene as pretext for next round of Clayton CBD development??
