Confirmation has been made by the Community Development Agency that funds of approximately $49,000 are forthcoming for implementation of the Four Corners Project at Kingsbury and Des Peres.
The project is the culmination of 15 months of planning by owners and/or representatives from the Des Peres Branch Library, Kohn Art Studio, Grace and Peace Fellowship, the People’s Clinic, and Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council, as well as other area residents, all assisted by the Community Design Workshop from the Washington University Graduate School of Architecture.
The proposed plan was presented to the community at the May 1975 Art Fair. Originally the cost of the plan was estimated to be approximately $70,000. However, the planning committee was able to modify it and make some substitution of materials reducing the cost to about $49,000.
Funds will be available after April 1, and work is scheduled to begin in the spring and be completed by mid-October 1976.
