Public Meetings on Arch Grounds
June 10th, 2008The National Park Service has issued a press release announcing two public “open house” meetings “to give interested individuals and organizations an opportunity to learn about and comment on preliminary alternatives for the future management of the Gateway Arch and Old Courthouse (Jefferson National Expansion Memorial).” The meetings are scheduled for Wednesday, June 25, 5-8 p.m., in the Trolley Room of the Dennis and Judith Jones Visitor and Education Center (the historic Lindell Pavilion) in Forest Park; and Tuesday, July 1, 3-6:30 p.m., in the Old Courthouse, 11 North Fourth Street. You can read the rest of the press release HERE.
The Open Space Council has been actively involved in following and pursuing information regarding the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial ever since rumors and reports of possible changes in the management of the Memorial came to the surface. We will continue to keep a close eye on this issue, as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial is a valuable and important open space in downtown St. Louis. We encourage everyone to attend one of these meetings and make your voice heard.
