Mission Statement

The mission of CCV is to provide timely, useful information and informed commentary about the governance of Creve Coeur. CCV’s objective is to inform the public on the issues and decisions which affect everyday life in Creve Coeur and the direction that the City is taking for the future. CCV believes that an informed public will be better prepared to influence the governance of Creve Coeur through feedback to elected representatives and through the political process.

Vision for Creve Coeur

CCV supports a vision for the future of Creve Coeur. CCV believes that Creve Coeur should be a model residential community with limited population density and with commercial development targeted to the everyday needs of the residents. Limiting population density means limiting apartments, condominiums, “cluster” houses, and other zoning changes which would increase the population. Targeted development would include retail businesses focused on household needs such as groceries, hardware, pharmacy, dry cleaning, financial services, medical services, automobile services, etc., NOT high rise office buildings, regional or “big box” retail developments, etc.

CCV believes that Creve Coeur is already developed beyond its optimum capacity and that limiting and controlling additional development will maximize property values by establishing Creve Coeur as a premium residential and business location. CCV believes that additional over-development will lead to congestion, high vacancy rates, population turnover, and a decline in the quality of life in Creve Coeur.

CCV envisions reducing taxes over time by limiting the costs of government services imposed by high density development. CCV believes that city government can be downsized over time through attrition, while maintaining key services such as police, street maintenance, parks, and sanitation.

Creve Coeur still has an opportunity to be a unique community in St. Louis County- less congested than Clayton or Richmond Heights, newer and fresher than Olivette or Kirkwood, more “livable” than Chesterfield, Frontenac, or Ladue- in general smarter and better than the rest.
