CertifySTL M/WBE Certification Program Remains on Pause
As of August 4, 2025, city departments will not issue any new non-emergency contracts for city construction projects covered by M/WBE goals.
Already-executed city construction contracts will continue to operate under original/existing terms.
The city will develop a new construction ordinance by September 12, 2025 during this pause. SLDC is hiring a consultant to provide guidance as well, in addition to community stakeholders.
