Loop Media Hub: Planners Seek Input

The , , , , the St. Louis Development Corporation and have partnered to fund an Information and Communications Technology (ICT) master plan for the community located along the Loop Trolley right of way.

It is the goal of the plan to identify mechanisms to create a media hub for Internet, entertainment venues, entrepreneurial opportunity, research, education and creative services. The drafting of the ICT plan will include an extensive collaborative community engagement process.

To that end, a variety of topical public meetings have been scheduled. Each public meeting will include a review of the “Loop Media Hub” program, mission and objectives and gather comments, conceptual frameworks, and indications of interest from incumbent service providers, new entrants, and other private sector entities.

A Request for Information (RFI) has been prepared and disseminated to various interested parties. The RFI will also be discussed at the public meetings.

The meetings will be hosted by the Regional Arts Commission, Conference Room C, 6128 Delmar in St. Louis. Registration is required.
