<p>The O'Fallon Park Recreation Center project on the north side of St. Louis appears to be overcoming delays and moving forward, but not without controversy.<br /> <br />Sources tell CNR that the project was delayed after the job was awarded to S.M. Wilson &amp; Co., because community and political leaders in the neighborhoods that will be served by the recreation center decided they wanted levels of minority involvement in the project that were higher than those required by city ordinance.<br /> <br />A "change order" to increase minority involvement above what was asked for in the bid increased the cost of the project. A construction manager was added to the job to help boost minority numbers. <br /> <br />CNR has submitted a request to the City under Missouri's Sunshine Law for documents related to the project.</p>
