On Thursday, June 7, the membership of the Delmar Wabash Link Business Association unanimously elected the following officers: Dave Masten, St. Louis Design Alliance, President; Neil Shapiro, The Original Cast Lighting Company, Vice President; and Dennis Townsend, Boulevard Cleaners, Secretary/Treasurer. Featured speaker at the luncheon meeting was 28th Ward Alderman Lyda Krewson, who shared a great deal of information with the members regarding the process and benefits of establishing a Special Taxing District. Alderman Krewson also challenged the new Association leadership with $10,000 for trash containers to be placed along Delmar.
The noon meeting was held at Genesis House, a recently opened coffee house located at 6018 Delmar.
The catered box lunches were provided by Salvato’s, 6227 Delmar Boulevard.
The new leadership of the Association pledged to pursue further information regarding the Taxing District and other options to permit continued involvement as Delmar’s redevelopment proceeds.
The officers also agreed to research the various styles of trash containers available and make recommendations by the next meeting, which was set for noon Thursday, July 12 at Genesis House. Advance reservations and your luncheon order can be placed by calling 862- 5122.
