Construction projects within the area are subject to Mayor's Executive Order #28 as amended: 

  • Executive Order 28 (as amended) sets goals for the inclusion of Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MBEs and WBEs) on construction projects of 25 percent minority participation and 5 percent women owned enterprise participation. Compliance is monitored by the St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) Compliance section. 

The City is fully committed to these goals and supports compliance efforts in the following ways:

  • Full compliance on all projects directly contracted by the City for Next NGA West site preparation. 
  • Close collaboration with contractors to share "best practices" for compliance and facilitate communication with our area partners, particularly as projects are getting underway. Project startup is a critical time to put into place the framework for success, and the project team works with contractors to help them understand the requirements and procedures established by the SLDC Compliance section. 
  • Regular reporting of performance in achieving the goals for all projects in the area. The community evaluates these reports to identify potential opportunities to improve on future projects.
