Gregory Rose, city manager of University City, will retire Feb. 6, ending a 30-year public service career that included leading the municipality through two major floods and last spring’s tornado.
Rose has overseen several major projects, including the near completion of The Market at Olive, the estimated $211 million redevelopment at the Olive-Interstate 170 gateway into University City. He also advanced plans for the future headquarters of the University City Police Department and a new home for the Municipal Court.
