New Weed & Seed Director

By Antonio D. French

Filed Tuesday, June 19, 2007 at 7:12 AM

Following the retirement of executive director Kim Norman, Edmund Hennessey has been named the new head of Weed & Seed St. Louis.

According to the Department of Justice's website, the Weed & Seed initiative involves a two-pronged approach: law enforcement agencies and prosecutors cooperate in "weeding out" violent criminals and drug abusers and public agencies and community-based private organizations collaborate to "seed" much-needed human services, including prevention, intervention, treatment, and neighborhood restoration programs.

The City of St. Louis today has two active Weed & Seed neighborhoods: Hamilton Heights and the West End.

Why only two? Funding? Does this program produce any measurable results?
