First lobbyist adds Maryland retirement firm to client list

A Maryland company planning to build a retirement center in St. Louis has hired one of the most influential lobbyists in the state...Andrew Blunt...according to Missouri Ethics Commission documents.
Blunt began representing Erickson Retirement Center, Baltimore, Wednesday.
According to an article in the Nov. 24 St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Erickson proposal is "to build 1,500 housing units for the elderly and a 225-unit assisted living and skilled nursing center on 88.4 acres along Gravois Road in Affton across from Grant's Farm."

The article says the project "includes housing units in a series of mostly four- or five-story buildings west of Gravois Creek and its flood plain."
