The evening also featured Tom Bradley, superintendent of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, Walter Metcalfe of the CityArchRiver 2015 Foundation and video remarks by sportscaster Joe Buck. Below are renderings of the project areas. An introduction to the project, the design concept presentation and October 28, 2015 project statistics can be found here.
The $578 million plan calls for closing Memorial Drive. The target opening date is 2015; a public-private funding partnership is envisioned. St Louis Mayor Slay supports the project.
