• After generations of waiting, a Missouri family moves closer to developing historic land (ksdk.com) — Chesterfield’s city council has approved new zoning that finally lets the Frazier family move forward with developing their 122-acre Westland Acres property after decades of effort. The 7-1 vote marks a major milestone for 94-year-old resident Doris Frazier and descendants of William West, a formerly enslaved man who bought the land in 1879, potentially reshaping this historic Black community between two cities.
