O’Fallon gas station may be expanded
The O’Fallon City Council recently approved a first reading for the redevelopment of a BP gas station at 720 S. Lincoln Ave.
Mike Drummonds for STL Eco Energy & Electric filed an application requesting 0.66 acres of land be rezoned from B-1, Community Business District to B-1(P), Planned Community Business District for the proposed redevelopment of the existing BP gas station. The project would include demolishing the existing convenience store and reconstructing a new 4,173-square-foot convenience market and the future installation of two additional gas pumps.
The development will need a second reading before the city council before it can move forward.

The preliminary plat for the August Greens includes 117 single family lots, and The Enclave at Augusta Greens preliminary plat includes 39 single family building pads.
The development will need a second reading before the City Council before it can move forward.
