ST. LOUIS – The city of St. Louis announced a new digital portal that allows unique access for interactions within the city, the Office of the Mayor announced today.
Called OneStopGov—help funded by the American Rescue Plan Act—the portal aims to modernize city services for residents. In its launch, one feature St. Louisans can have access to is online special events, which strives to help event organizers.
Other features residents can have with this platform include:
- 24/7 online access to the permitting platform
- A more streamlined application process
- Automatic routing to relevant City departments
- Digital payment capabilities
- Email notifications of status updates
- Ability to save and resume applications
According to Mayor Tishaura Jones, this platform seeks to make interactions between locals and businesses convenient and user-friendly.
“Filling out paper forms and going to City Hall can be a long and sometimes frustrating process, taking away time from more important things for residents, businesses and the City,” Jones said.
As of right now, this app can help event organizers, giving them the chance to apply for permits for their events in an efficient manner. In future updates, OneStopGov looks to also serve food and liquor vendors.
Individuals who do not have access to a computer or prefer to apply in person for permits may call 314-589-6640 for an appointment with City Hall.
