See 🧵by @stlrainbow.bsky.social on the ill-advised #LRAstl policy of requiring lots be 4,000 or above for construction of a single building.

Board docs posted online prior to the meeting didn't include two sets of meeting minutes.
Director Shelton Anderson's report (starts at 12:35) details the impact of the May 16 tornado on properties owned by LRA.
Bingo!
On the dot of 9 a.m. today, the video recordings of the 6.25.25 #IDAstl & #LRAstl meetings were made available to the public.
The videos were uploaded to YouTube last week, but set to "private."
Posting the videos 3 business days after the meeting has been standard practice since Jan. 2023.
Good morning St. Louis!
Coming up at 9 a.m: I expect the recordings of the #LRAstl & #IDAstl meetings held on 6.25.25 will be made public on SLDC YouTube.
