MANCHESTER, Mo. — After a four-year campaign, a proposition to add about 6,500 residents to the City of Manchester was voted down Tuesday night by residents in unincorporated St. Louis County.
Proposition A was on the ballot for current residents of Manchester as well as the people who live in the portion of unincorporated St. Louis County. The issue needed to pass by a simple majority in both Manchester and the proposed annexation area.
In the initial count of votes, a majority of city voters approved the measure, but voters in the proposed annexation area shot it down.
