SUMMARY:Safer + Simpler Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Did you know Missouri is one of only seven states without statewide building codes? St. Louis County has uniquely fragmented building codes\, as there are 88 municipalities\, many of which do not have the capacity to keep their building codes current. The Safer + Simpler St. Louis County coalition was formed last year to find solutions to create more consistency in building codes and inspections and make it easier to do business in our region. If you’d like to hear more\, do some cross-industry networking\, and give your input\, be sure to attend the Safer + Simpler Town Hall on Thursday\, February 16. \nRegister for this FREE event!  \nBreakfast and Networking: 8:30 – 9:00 a.m. | Program: 9:00 – 10:00 a.m. \n\nMissouri Gateway Green Building Council is a member of the Safer & Simpler St. Louis County coalition. Learn more about the coalition at www.safersimplerstl.com.
