Lance Knuckles Talks with KMOX About Revitalizing St. Louis Through Land Reutilization

Last week, Lance Knuckles, SLDC's SVP of Neighborhood Transformation and Director of the Land Reutilization Authority (LRA) for the city of St. Louis, joined Total Information AM to discuss the city's efforts to acquire and return vacant properties to private ownership. In the interview, Knuckles explains the recent changes in the pricing policy, allowing properties to be sold at adjusted prices based on their location and value changes. He emphasizes the importance of leveraging assets and inventory to attract residents and consumers to invest in the city's properties. Knuckles also highlights the challenge of revitalizing properties with derelict structures and the need for partnerships to accelerate redevelopment. He discusses the discontinuation of the Mow-to-Own program and the upcoming launch of a new website to simplify the process for potential buyers. The interview ends with Knuckles expressing excitement about the progress and measurable impact expected in the city's revitalization efforts.
