On Tuesday, April 27th, representatives of 1st Street LLC and the City of St. Charles conducted a tour of the Plaza Building to view progress on several tenant spaces that have recently opened, or are scheduled to open in the next few weeks.      

It was exciting to see the new activity and to hear from business owners who are so pleased with the 1st Street project and have made a decision to invest in downtown St. Charles.      

Here are some photos from the tour and the business owners that we met along the way.
