Kirkwood To Hold Public Forums on Infill Housing and Neighborhood Preservation

Kirkwood, Missouri – Thursday, August 30, 2007 --  Concern over how to preserve the character of residential neighborhoods when they are impacted by demolitions, new construction, additions, and rehabbing, is a recurring topic in Kirkwood and other municipalities across the country.

            Two public forums are scheduled for Thursday, September 13, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. and on Saturday, October 6, 2007, at 9:30 a.m. Both forums will be held in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 139 South Kirkwood Road. The forums are being coordinated by the City Council’s subcommittee on infill housing and residential construction. The public is strongly encouraged to attend and to offer constructive suggestions on how to balance preservation efforts with present-day housing trends. City staff as well as subcommittee members will be present to provide answers and follow-up information as needed during the forum discussions.

            Subcommittee meetings, as well as the public forums, are posted on the city’s website, www.ci.kirkwood.mo.us, under “meetings and agendas.”
