Community Input

STLCO 2050 is shaped by resident input and reflects the priorities expressed by the community. It has been developed through coordination with municipalities, regional governments, and many stakeholders and partners whose collaboration is essential to achieving the plan’s goals of equitable economic growth, inclusive housing policy, and environmental resilience. Throughout the planning process, extensive outreach efforts were conducted to solicit input from the St. Louis County community.
