Prop A Update (October)

Meramec Ambulance District is pleased to share several significant updates as we continue moving forward with projects and equipment purchases made possible through community support and voter approval of Proposition A.

These investments represent an important step in strengthening our facilities, modernizing critical equipment, and ensuring our crews have the resources needed to continue providing high-quality emergency medical services to our community.

🏗️ Station Construction Projects

We are excited to announce that the District has secured a general contractor for the Station 2/Administration Building in Villa Ridge, marking a major milestone in this project. A groundbreaking ceremony will be held on October 20, and we look forward to celebrating the beginning of this important investment alongside our community.

Additional details regarding the groundbreaking ceremony will be announced soon.

In addition, planning and preparation for our station improvement projects continue to progress, with renovations expected to begin in late 2026 or early 2027. More specifically, Station 1 in Pacific will begin its renovations late 2026/early 2027, with Station 3 in Robertsville to follow once Station 1 is complete. 

🫁 New Ventilators

The bond funding approved with Proposition A is also supporting the replacement of aging medical equipment. Meramec Ambulance District is currently in the process of purchasing new transport ventilators to replace our existing ReVel ventilators, which have reached end-of-life status.

These new ventilators will provide our paramedics with updated equipment for the treatment and transport of critically ill and injured patients who require advanced respiratory support.

These projects are more than facility upgrades and equipment purchases — they are investments in the future of emergency medical services throughout the Meramec Ambulance District.

We sincerely thank our residents for the trust and support that made these improvements possible. We remain committed to being responsible stewards of these funds and to keeping our community informed as each project continues to move forward.

This is an exciting chapter for Meramec Ambulance District, and we look forward to sharing each milestone with you along the way.

With gratitude,

Taz Meyer, Chief

Meramec Ambulance District
