ST. CHARLES, Mo. – St. Charles is set to break ground on the new City Centre Complex, a major development project at the former American Car Foundry property at Clark and Main Street. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, marking the start of construction on this transformative project.
The City Centre Complex, also known as C3, is a significant investment in the community, funded by an $85 million bond issue called Proposition C, which was approved by voters last spring without a tax increase.
This development will include a new city hall, a state-of-the-art recreation center, a senior center, a four-seasons farmers market, art and cultural spaces, and a restaurant incubator aimed at supporting local entrepreneurs.
Mayor Dan Borgmeyer emphasized the project’s importance, stating that the complex will enhance services and create a space for people of all ages to gather, learn, and grow.
The City Centre Complex is strategically located to bridge the gap between historic Main Street and Frenchtown, with a new Main Street extension facilitating this connection.
City Hall is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, with the remaining phases of the complex wrapping up in 2027 and 2028.
The City Centre Complex is poised to become a vibrant community hub, bringing new amenities and opportunities to St. Charles City.
