Introduction
The Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority of the County of St. Louis (the “LCRA”) was
established pursuant to Chapter 99 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, for the purposes, among
others, of rehabilitation, redevelopment and renewal of properties for industrial, commercial,
residential, or mixed use in order to benefit the economic and social welfare of St. Louis County.
The St. Louis Economic Development Partnership provides staff for the LCRA.
The LCRA issues this Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to purchase and redevelop real property
located at the 6300 block of Wagner Avenue in the City of Wellston, St. Louis County, Missouri
63133 (the “Property,” further identified and depicted in Exhibit A, attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference). The Property contains approximately 2.8 acres on either side
of Wagner Avenue, consisting of 27 individual lots. The Property is easily accessible by public
transportation via the Wellston MetroLink Station and is located one block south of Page
Avenue, about 3 miles from Interstates 70 and 170.
Scope of Services
The LCRA seeks proposals from developers to contract for the purchase of the Property and to
enter into a redevelopment agreement with the LCRA to redevelop the Property. The LCRA
desires to support redevelop of the Property that benefits the surrounding community, with an
emphasis on equitable economic development strategies.
To that end, the LCRA will consider proposals to purchase an option on the Property for a
limited time to allow the developer(s) the opportunity to purchase surrounding parcels for a
larger redevelopment project. The Property is sold AS IS, without inspection or warranty as to
any matter.

3. Purchase Price Offer. Indicate the developer will enter into a contract to purchase and
redevelop the Property per the constraints established in this RFP and either (1)

money and to be left open for a specified period of time. For offers that include
options, the option price must be limited to 60 days or less.
