ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - City officials in Florissant are pursuing a deal that would swap out a portion of Koch Park for land near the Missouri River, and a developer would use former park land for a housing development. Mayor Timothy Lowery said the city needs two-story homes for young families, but some residents don't want to lose a portion of their beloved park. 'I'm not anti-development, but not in the park,' said resident Kathy Wilson. Wilson and Mary Clines are on a crusade to try and stop or at least bring public awareness to the proposed land swap in Florissant.
