The Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority of the County of St. Louis (“LCRA”) is a political subdivision of the State of Missouri organized pursuant to Chapter 99 of the Missouri Revised Statutes for the purposes, among others, of rehabilitating, redeveloping, and renewing real property for residential, commercial, or mixed-use for the economic benefit and social welfare of St. Louis County. Consistent with its organizational purposes, the LCRA owns certain residential and industrial, real property parcels located in the City of Wellston in St. Louis County, Missouri.
The LCRA issues this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to purchase and redevelop an approximately 15-acre property, commonly known as the Plymouth Industrial Park and located at 6440 Page Avenue, Wellston, St. Louis County, Missouri 63133 (the “Property”).
The LCRA has worked with the City of Wellston to develop and approve a redevelopment plan for Wellston, which would include the redevelopment of the Property. PGAV Planners conducted a review of the City of Wellston to evaluate the current conditions and its need for redevelopment and issued a report entitled the “Wellston Empower Plan” (“Empower Plan”). The Empower Plan is designed to facilitate the redevelopment of Wellston into productive commercial, industrial, and residential uses, including related parking, improved pedestrian and vehicular access, and recreational facilities. The LCRA and Wellston have approved the Empower Plan, which is available in the Informational Package (as defined below).
The intention of this RFP is to solicit proposals from developers (“Respondents”) that will contract to complete the redevelopment and purchase of the Property consistent with the Empower Plan (the “Redevelopment”). Other terms and conditions may be developed in response to specific proposals and incorporated into agreements that may be necessary to implement incentives for the Redevelopment.
