SUMMARY: The Missouri Auditor’s Office is investigating the city of Arnold, linked to the Arnold Parkway project that would have connected Highway 141 to Richardson Road, impacting homes and businesses. The audit focuses on potential corruption involving the city and two Transportation Development Districts, including property ownership issues and high-level officials serving as district officers. The $75 million project was halted last month after lawsuits from business owners. The city denies the allegations, claiming they’re based on misinformation. The state auditor is currently reviewing corporate documents provided by the city.

The Missouri State Auditor’s Office is auditing the city of Arnold and two transportation development districts following complaints about the proposed Arnold Parkway road project that has since been scrapped.

A Nov. 7 letter that state Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick sent Arnold Mayor Ron Counts said the Auditor’s Office had received multiple complaints from its Whistleblower Hotline about Arnold’s oversight and operation of the Arnold Retail Corridor Transportation Development District (ARC TDD) and the Triangle Transportation Development District (Triangle TDD).

The letter said the Auditor’s Office investigated the complaints and determined they are credible.

In the letter, the Auditor’s Office identified the following three potential issues that possibly could constitute improper government activity, adding that there could be more issues.
