From the Old Post Office Rededication Ceremony
March 15, 2006

“…the completion of this
building… has really raised
our level of pride about who we
are, and it’s also raised our
level of confidence about what
is possible here in the
City of St. Louis.”

Francis Slay
Mayor of the City of St. Louis

 

“Imagine our successors in about
2128. They will remember both 
the first and the second dedications
as they celebrate meeting the 
challenges of their day.
Then perhaps they’ll say,
“Thank goodness that those people
back in the first part of the
21st Century pulled together to accomplish what they did.”
They are our inspiration…”

Dr. William Danforth
The Danforth Foundation

 

“…if St. Louis does not succeed, Missouri does not succeed. Redevelopment in
St. Louis is absolutely essential
for this state to be an economic
engine… into the 21st Century.”

Michael Keathley
Commissioner of Administration
State of Missouri
