Green Team Resources

The City is very pleased to announce the successful launch of our recently formed Green Team Commission to encompass the city's environmental, ecological and sustainability efforts. Elevating its work to the city commission level reflects the significance we have attributed to this effort, including providing for its leadership through an aldermanic appointment. While the Green Team will be structured in the same way as all other commissions, with two members from each ward and two at-large members, it will have a specific program for subcommittees to extend its activities into area schools, religious institutions, businesses, and other interest groups. The Mission Statement which guides our thinking and direction has been developed. Our GreenPrint for Action has already been outlined, with details being added as needed.

If you are interested in volunteering for the Green Team Commission, please fill out a commission application and return it to the City Clerk at the Municipal Center, 1011 Municipal Center Drive, Town & Country, MO 63131, or fax to 314-432-1286.
