Good morning, Jefferson City.

A Kansas City steamboat museum is considering a move to Jefferson City as many locals believe it could boost revenue (official plans are still in development).

Jefferson City will host several community events in the coming weeks including a senior resource fair at Capital Mall on Wednesday, a Treat Your Mother Craft and Vendor Show on Saturday at the Jaycees Cole County Fairgrounds, and Sip and Shop 2025 downtown with a $15 entry fee.

Additional events include the state track championships at Jefferson City High School on May 23-24 and 30-31 and a People Pow Wow celebrating Native American culture on May 24-25 at the fairgrounds.

Members of Central Missouri Master Gardeners have been preparing for months for their annual sale and reported that customers appear ready to start early—showing strong community interest in the event.

In April, Jefferson City approved business licenses for many local firms—covering contractors, retailers, and temporary businesses.

The list includes Travis Cable LLC, Catracho's Services, Hope Heart Healing, and other companies spanning construction, heating, and liquor catering.

A Jefferson City woman faces a felony theft charge after allegedly stealing over $1,000 in merchandise from TJ Maxx where she worked as an assistant manager & camera footage and a home search provided evidence & she is set to appear in court on May 27.

Families and survivors gathered at the Capitol on Friday to honor Missouri law enforcement officers who died in 2024, including Phylicia Carson, Officer Cody Allen, Lake Lafayette Police Chief Steven Singer, and Officer David Lee, while additional names were added to the Law Enforcement Memorial Wall of Honor. Governor Mike Kehoe and Attorney General Andrew Bailey will lead the memorial service today at 10 a.m.—the event offers a moment of comfort as community members remember the sacrifices made.

The Jefferson City Council will vote Monday on a $511,472 contract to redesign two intersections in the Fourth Ward.

Kyle Bruemmer, who began his career in the Public Works department (his first job), has returned as the new Public Works director at City Hall.

He hopes his final role will be in the same department (where he first started his work).

MoDOT will begin work on U.S. 54 this week in Jefferson City and drivers should expect significant delays as the work zone affects traffic conditions.
