about the same amount which is around $2,400,000 .

This will cover everything including demolition, masonry,

steel framing, drywall and interior finishes, plumbing,

HVAC, electrical and fire suppression.

What We Expect It To Look Like

Crime Statistics

• According to People For Parks Oregon “there is a 25% decrease in

the rate of juvenile apprehensions in St. Louis Missouri due to

recreation centers and parks”.

• We hope to help lower that percentage even more with our

organization. Especially in the summer time where teens get bored

and find trouble therefore raise the statistics of Crime rates which

increase between six and sixteen percent, depending on the crime

in St. Louis; according to Yahoo voices.
