Summit hosted a special event at our office featuring Otis Williams, Interim President & CEO, St. Louis Development Corporation.
The evening’s program was organized by Mission Realty Advisors (MRA), a nonprofit founded by Summit to further our mission of building a stronger and more resilient St. Louis. Through its work, MRA focuses on leveraging real estate as a tool for community impact, inclusive growth, and long-term vitality.
The discussion with Mr. Williams explored both the challenges and opportunities shaping St. Louis today. Topics ranged from the tornado recovery efforts and resilience following the May 16, 2025 storm to the city’s broader trajectory of economic development and revitalization.
Mr. Williams emphasized the importance of inclusive and sustainable growth, highlighting how strategic investment, collaboration, and long-term planning can position St. Louis for success.
Summit is proud to provide a platform for conversations like these – where leaders, innovators, and partners can gather to exchange ideas that will move our region forward.
We extend our gratitude to Mission Realty Advisors for carrying out this important work and to Otis Williams for sharing his perspective on St. Louis’ future.
