Grant Allows Businesses in Ferguson to Rebuild After Fires

Buildings in Ferguson, Missouri, that had been damaged in the aftermath of protests, prompted by the killing of Michael Brown, are getting a makeover. Protesters burned and looted businesses seemingly unrelated to the incident. A total of 11 buildings were burned in the aftermath, and 250 businesses were damaged by protests, looting, and loss of foot traffic. Thanks to a grant of $500,000 from the St. Louis County Economic Development Partnership, money will be allocated to tear down six buildings and beautify new building along the center of town.
