ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – University City has announced layoffs and furloughs for 13 of their full-time employees because of the financial strain of coronavirus. The municipality anticipates a 15 percent, or a $3.7 million reduction, in their revenue.

All areas of University City government, with the exception of public safety and sanitation, will lose employees.
