St. Louis will largely pause tornado-damaged home demolitions in December and plans to resume with Phase 2 in early 2027, after completing the first phase focused on dangerous buildings, major corridors and owner requests. Officials say roughly 1,400 to 1,600 structures need demolition overall and another $40 million or more is needed to finish; the city says the winter pause is for planning and resetting, not because funds for current work have run out.
