St. Louis Business Journal: Amid questions, north St. Louis grant recipients to be vetted, officials say

Spencer questioned why awardees in the Northside Grant Program were not vetted before they were announced, stating that vetting should at least include, whether or not it’s a real business, whether or not it’s located in north St. Louis, whether or not its located in an abandoned building, whether or not that business owner is willing to share any level of details about what they are going to do with the funds.
