The City of Pevely has been a member of the Economic Development Corporation of Jefferson County since its inception. The City of Pevely maintains and updates the City’s Comprehensive plan for the future of the community. Recently, the Board of Aldermen invited citizens to participate in a “Visioning” process to identify the needs of the community. The Citizens were able to identify four areas of need:
- A new City Hall
-- COMPLETED!!!!
- Better shopping along Z Hwy
- Improvements to Z Hwy
- Improvements to City Parks
The Board of Alderman has identified
the north/east quadrant of the I-55/Z
Hwy interchange as a 34 acre
re-development area. The Board is hoping
to improve the retail shopping
opportunities for the Eastern half of
Jefferson County.
