City-County Merger

A proposed amendment to the Missouri Constitution has been submitted to the Missouri Secretary of State’s office by a group called Better Together (BT) seeking a statewide vote for a plan that would require the unification of St. Louis City, St. Louis County and all municipalities within the County’s boundary.

The proposed merger of St. Louis County with the City of St. Louis, coupled with the creation of a "metro city" can and will have major consequences for residents of the City of Manchester. If you have questions, contact Mayor Mike Clement or your Aldermen or attend one of the upcoming Town Hall Meetings.
