Fun at the Pool!

Pool season ends on Labor Day but don’t worry, there’s plenty of fun ahead!

inform how we as a community and at City Hall can support continued economic recovery in these postpandemic times. The 2019 Business Development Strategic Plan, surveys and the business roundtable highlighted requests for assistance in finding and retaining employees. We answered the call for helping employers and the workforce connect through employment right here in Webster Groves by launching workinwebstergroves.com, an online job bank, which was also funded by the American Rescue Plan, focuses on connecting businesses with employees within our boundaries. Another identified need was to attract new customers and encourage “Shop Local.” Upcoming events include the all-new Business Bingo on October 1. Understanding that we are part of a larger business community fabric has tendered new outreach to organizations such as STLMade and St. Louis Economic Development Business Partnership/#314Together.

Ongoing community engagement will also be at the forefront of our commissions’ efforts this year, again ensured through Council’s new call and funding for education programs and special events.

Our commissions provide a valuable framework for collaborating with our community. Ask a commission member and you’ll learn that many events and durable products in WG are tangible results of our Commissions’ teamwork.
