It is a true honor to have our community recognized for the positive impact it has on the Bevo neighborhood and St. Louis. We are proud to provide affordable housing that allows older adults to remain connected to the neighborhoods they love. Projects like this show that supporting older adults and strengthening communities are not separate goals; they are the same goal.
Thank you everyone who believed in this project and helped make EverTrue Crossroads at Bevo Mill possible — and award winning!
EverTrue's newest Affordable Housing community, EverTrue Crossroads at Bevo Mill, was named "Development of the Year" at today's Mayor's Celebration of Businesses Luncheon! The luncheon, which is powered by the St. Louis Development Corporation - SLDC, recognizes projects that strengthen St. Louis neighborhoods and its economy.
Located directly across from the historic Bevo Mill windmill, the EverTrue Crossroads community was co-developed with Tower Grove Community Development Corporation with a simple purpose: to give older adults who have spent their lives in Bevo Mill a high-quality, affordable way to stay in the neighborhood they love. EverTrue Crossroads at Bevo Mill is the first project in the area built to the design and development goals of the Bevo Great Streets Plan.
"We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from Mayor Cara Spencer and the St. Louis Development Corporation," said Adam Marles, President and CEO of EverTrue. "EverTrue Crossroads at Bevo Mill shows what’s possible when a community comes together around a shared vision. Older adults who helped build this neighborhood deserve the chance to grow older here, close to their friends, their churches and the places they know."
We give thanks to the many partners who made Crossroads at Bevo Mill possible, including Tower Grove CDC, architect Rosemann & Associates, Better Bevo Now Neighborhood Association, the Newport Heights Neighborhood Association and The Bevo CID.
