• Ballwin passes ordinance to allow store sales of used items (westnewsmagazine.com) — Ballwin has changed its zoning rules so shops in the C-1 Commercial District can now apply for special use exceptions to sell used merchandise, after a request tied to Central Plaza on Manchester Road. Businesses will still need individual approval, but the updated code opens the door for more resale options and secondhand shopping in town.
