Scott Schmieder, county road and bridge foreman, reported to the Ste. Genevieve County Commission last Thursday that he had already gotten some work done on Lawrenceton Cutoff Road before heavy rains hit. He said his crews would be back at it as soon as weather permitted.
The crumbling road is the county’s first priority this paving season. A week earlier Schmieder and the commissioners met representatives of Jokerst, Inc. and Vern Bauman Contracting at the road and discussed the upcoming project. They also visited some other roads the local rivals will probably be bidding on, including the intersection of Roth Road and Highway Y.

Garry Nelson would like to see one more project completed soon.
The Ste. Genevieve County presiding commissioner hopes to see the gazebo and landscaping at the south end of the new county parking lot completed as soon as weather allows.
In April 2019, local historian Bob Mueller and local business owner Lawrence Myers, who is also an architect, provided plans for a bicentennial plaza for the Market Street edge of the property, complete with a memorial to John Scott, Missouri’s first congressman, and landscaping with a grassy area, a bench and various plants. The plants would include hicks yews, European hornbeam and Johnson crabapple.
