In this episode of The 314 Podcast, host Sarah Fenske talks with Steve Smith, CEO of development firm New + Found, about his efforts to bring vibrancy to downtown and Midtown—and why Smith is worried that the two big data centers proposed for sites near his thriving City Foundry project could slow the neighborhood’s momentum. Then, Sarah chats with SLM staff writer Ryan Krull about Missouri’s price-gouging case against Dollar General—and what it tells us about new Attorney General Catherine Hanaway. Listen and follow The 314 Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever podcasts are available.
