what is the drc?
The West End & Visitation Park Development Review Committee (DRC) is an independent, interim structure to give residents a voice and to provide community feedback for the neighborhood development process. Currently, Cornerstone CDC provides in-kind, voluntary administrative support to resident leaders managing the full process.
The DRC is a volunteer based entity that has no legal authority over development decisions. The City of St. Louis and it’s elected/appointed representatives are solely responsible for decision making.
Who is on the drc?
The Committee is formed of current residents and community stakeholders that have a background or technical expertise in the development process, this could be architecture, construction, or development experience.
