• Kirkwood considers tax breaks for developers amid financial strain (firstalert4.com) — Kirkwood officials are weighing whether to offer tax breaks for a proposed 202‑unit apartment complex on the current Public Works site, despite a serious citywide budget crunch. Residents worry tax abatements could shift costs onto taxpayers and strain schools, the library, and services, even as Kirkwood faces a $90 million water system need and a major electrical department budget overrun.
