Board of Aldermen endorse Workhouse plan

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - The St. Louis City Board of Aldermen is supporting efforts by the mayor to demolish the Workhouse and set up a memorial on the site.

However, questions remain on other details of the project.

The workhouse has been empty since 2022.

On Thursday, the board heard from community members about what they want to see done with the site.

That included some pushback on proposals that could see the site used for tiny homes for unhoused people.

The demolition of the Workhouse is set to begin in December of this year.
