Help Shrewsbury, Help St. Louis: Sustainability Series Targets Local Problems
A local effort to improve sustainability in Shrewsbury and Mid-County is designed to one day affect all of the St. Louis region.

The Mid-Metro 5 Community meetings—targeting Shrewsbury as well as Clayton, Richmond Heights, Brentwood and Maplewood—gather community input on sustainability and transportation issues, using mid-St. Louis County as a test for the rest of the region.
The next meeting July 17 in Clayton will address , including senior housing, flooding and public transit.
