Funding

Projects whose funding was cut run the gamut, including veterinary technician programs at a few community colleges, salary increases for the Highway Patrol, removing vacant properties in St. Louis County and a handful of proposals to mediate erosion and manage stormwater.

The neighborhood generates about 20% of the money that goes into St. Louis’ general fund but only accounts for 5% of citywide spending, according to a new economic impact analysis released Thursday by Greater St. Louis Inc.

The multimillion-dollar projects could serve as blueprints for similar ones at five locks and dams on the Mississippi north of the St. Louis region under the corps Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program.

The city has already received half of the money.

The $28 million increase in the budget is meant to cover some “one-time costs” the county will incur this year, plus wage increases and county projects that were postponed due to the pandemic.
