ARNOLD, Mo. — Arnold officials want the city limits to expand.
City residents will be asked on Aug. 6 to vote on whether Arnold may annex land that runs along Old Lemay Ferry and Vogel roads southwest of the current city limits.
Community Development Director David Bookless said the six land parcels targeted for annexation total approximately 99.87 acres.
A public hearing about the proposed annexation will be held at 7 p.m. July 18 at City Hall, 2101 Jeffco Blvd.
City Administrator Bryan Richison said Arnold officials want to annex the land in unincorporated Jefferson County because it is not developed.
