Millennium Hotel Has Sold. Now What?

In this episode of The 314 Podcast, host Sarah Fenske talks with Gateway Arch Park Foundation executive director Ryan McClure about the organization’s big plans for downtown—which include not just redevelopment of the long vacant Millennium Hotel, but also jumpstarting a conversation about removing the highway that cuts through the heart of the neighborhood. Other cities are doing it; why not St. Louis? Then, Sarah chats with SLM senior editor Nicholas Phillips about the troubled city jail’s rollout of an “honor dorm” that aims to create a virtuous cycle.
