‍In Downtown West, a historic building has been reimagined as one of St. Louis’ most distinctive destinations with support from the St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC): 21c Museum Hotel St. Louis.

‍Housed in the historic former YMCA building on Locust Street that opened in 1926, the hotel uses hospitality, public art, local partnership and community programming in a way that honors the property’s past while contributing to the City of St. Louis’ future.

For nearly 80 years, H&H Metal Fabrication (H&H) has helped build St. Louis through custom metal work people pass every day without realizing it.

As H&H began preparing for its future, St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) helped connect the women-owned and women-led company with financing tools that support equipment modernization, workforce growth and long-term stability.
