Community Celebrates Grand Opening of Ameren Missouri North Metro Operating Center

Community leaders and stakeholders recently celebrated the grand opening of Ameren Missouri’s new $20.7-million North Metro Operating Center, located in St. Louis, Missouri and constructed through a joint-venture partnership with general contractors PARIC Corporation and KAI Build.

The new North Metro Operating Center is built for up to 70 Ameren Missouri employees and serves more than 135,000 customers in North St. Louis and surrounding communities. It replaces and expands the company’s Geraldine Operating Center, which stood adjacent to the new facility and served the community for more than 60 years.

Construction on the North Metro Operating Center began in 2019 and provided hundreds of jobs for area workers, while also utilizing the company’s network of diverse suppliers. Ameren Missouri worked with 28 diverse suppliers on the project and spent 38% of project funds with these vendors.

The new operating center includes:

  • 19,600-square-foot office building for administrative offices and crew areas
  • 26,000-square-foot open truck shelter for 42 trucks
  • 6,400-square-foot storage building
  • 4,400-square-foot, three-sided trailer storage building
