Just like your family or your business, the City of St. Peters is dealing with rising costs and other challenges related to limited supply and increased demand. We’ve always looked for the most qualified professionals to join our outstanding team. Well, the tight labor market affects our ability to hire, just like it’s impacting businesses everywhere. Money is tighter. Deliveries are slower. Resources are stretched thin.

Your City team will soon go into our next budget planning season knowing that costs are likely to increase for many supplies, equipment and other items. We’ll continue to work hard to do the best we can for you, our residents, and navigate the uncertain conditions related to materials and labor. We apologize in advance and ask for your patience and understanding if some projects or services are affected. Please know, we’re doing the best we can for you.
