CLAYTON, MO (KMOX) - After launching an online survey last Friday, St. Louis County has scheduled a half-dozen town hall meetings where residents can weigh in on how the county should spend the $193 million in federal COVID relief funding.
The virtual town halls will be March 9th and 21st. The in-person meetings are scheduled for March 10th, 16th, 19th and 23rd.
County Executive Sam Page says his first priority is replacing the revenue the county lost due to the pandemic and the previous recession. "The county government never really recovered effectively from the recession at the end of 2008. My first goal was to replace county funds so we can continue to provide the services in St. Louis County that people expect."
Page says he will make suggestions to the county council based on what he hears from residents.
