Letter: Filthy streets and illegal dumps can lead to more crime
Debris lies scattered across empty property lots in Wellston on Friday, Jan. 15, 2021, behind the Normandy High School athletic field. The now scarcely populated neighborhood, made up of parcels mainly owned by the St. Louis County LCRA, has become a prime target for illegal dumping in the neighborhood nicknamed, "Lulu Heights." Wellston seeks buyers for the land to spur development. But St. Louis County has no mechanism to sell its holdings to Wellston, residents or businesses. Photo by Christian Gooden, [email protected]
