ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – St. Louis County has launched a simulation tool to help engage the community in the budget process.

The interactive tool lets locals explore various budget scenarios and experience the complexities and trade-offs in budget planning. County officials hope seeing how residents budget will help them better understand what the public values.
