Ballwin's Government Space Getting A Summer Makeover

If you have a need to attend municipal court or want to go to a Ballwin Board of Aldermen meeting this summer, you're going to be doing it in a different location.The city has approved a bid contract with United Construction that will bring the first real updates to the Donald “Red” Loehr Police & Court Center, where city meetings and court sessions are held, in roughly 30 years. There will furniture updates and changes to the dais, as well as unspecified security changes.

There will be separate access points to leave the multipurpose room from the dais.

Another agreement related strictly to audio-visual upgrades could be approved at the Board's meeting May 13.

Work should start before the end of May, with the goal of being back in business by Labor Day. In the interim, Board of Aldermen and Planning and Zoning Commission meetings will likely be held in the Golf Course clubhouse and at The Pointe although specific scheduling announcements have not been made.

Court proceedings will be held at the City of Manchester's facilities.
