Former St. Louis Development Corp. Director Otis Williams has been replaced by new SLDC Director Stephen Westbrooks. Williams was asked to replace Tishaura Jones as interim leader during a period of significant upheaval, when the city faced a potential lawsuit from developer Paul McKee over its move to seize his land through eminent domain. During his tenure, Williams oversaw changes to the Northside business grant program and economic mobility projects like Neighborhood Transformation and Monarch on MLK. He also expressed hope that he had an impact on changing the climate of how investors, developers and financiers see the city. Williams also commented on the eminent domain process, which McKee's attorneys argue does not have standing to do so.
