downtown area.”
Wentzville is also breaking ground on a new City Hall
- a 45,000 square foot building that will be completed
by September 2017. “We operate out of an older build-
ing,” Lang says. “We’ve occupied it for over 30 years
and we have departments of the city spread around
the community because we don’t have enough room.
So, we are building a new City Hall which will combine
our departments so that we can better serve the resi-
dents of the community.”
As the population of Wentzville continues to increase
– 700 single-family homes and 100 multi-family units
are being built this year – Lang reflects on Wentzville’s
position as the fastest-growing city in the state. “The
community is growth-driven and the challenge is not
to just keep up with growth, but to manage to stay
ahead of growth,” he says. “And one of the ways that
we do that is through the City’s Comprehensive Plan
that guides the future development of the community.
We use that Plan very actively in an attempt to make
sure that our infrastructure stays ahead of our growth
– water, sewer, roads - the things necessary in order
to supply the population. And I think if you asked most
people within the region, they would view Wentzville as
having done that pretty well.”
One would expect nothing less from the city known as
the “Crossroads of the Nation.”
