East-West Gateway, the bi-state area’s council of governments, kicked off an initiative to create a common vision for the St. Louis region. They’ll do that by creating a regional alignment plan they hope will create a framework that helps leaders from different sectors, like government, the arts and non-profits, work together. St. Louis Public Radio’s Kavahn Mansouri spoke with Jim Wild, executive director of East West Gateway, about what the plan might look like in practice.
