The City of St. Louis will host a series of meetings September 4-5 to inform the local business community meeting about the City’s Disparity Study. The meetings will be hosted by the St. Louis Development Corporation and its consultant, Mason Tillman Associates, Ltd.

The disparity study is being conducted by Mason Tillman to determine whether public contracts are equitably being awarded to eligible M/WBE contractors.

Hiring goals for the City’s construction contracts will also be discussed.
