It's Time for a Comeback.
The Delmar Corridor is a place of visionary investment, from Delmar DivINe to the Delmar Maker District. Our entrepreneurs have poured their time, passion, energy, and over $130 million into this historically overlooked and underserved area, fostering vibrant community spaces for art, food, and gatherings. Their goal was clear: the create welcoming and creative spaces for everyone along the Delmar Divide.
The May 16th tornado was a setback, but the resilience of these business owners is undeniable—they fought tirelessly and reopened their doors. They have the passion, the location, and the customers; what they lack is the fuel to maintain the momentum after months of disruption.
With drastically low revenues as the area recovers, the momentum for this area is at risk.
Preserving Investment. Fueling the Future.
The future of the Delmar Corridor is proven by the numbers: $130 million in investments by developers, in addition to the millions in personal investments by business owners. This is a monumental financial commitment, and your action now is the urgent, strategic investment required to save and secure that entire foundation.
When you contribute to Delmar Sustained, you actively choose to:
Preserve the Economic Catalysts: You save the core small businesses—the restaurants, the galleries, the workshops—that function as the daily lifeblood and economic engine. You protect the catalysts that activate the much larger $130M investment.
Protect Regional Momentum: You secure the hard-won progress in addressing the Delmar Divide. This is the moment for the St. Louis region to demonstrate sustained commitment and prove that investment, not abandonment, is our shared future.
Save the Vision: You ensure the survival of the welcoming cultural places that were specifically created to bridge communities. You provide the financial bridge that allows these entrepreneurs to weather the winter and reach long-term stability.
The goal of Delmar Sustained is clear: A modest regional investment today secures a monumental future for the entire corridor - and changes the story in a powerful way. Your donation will impact the entire region.
