All Missourians are encouraged to help select the design of a new automobile license plate, which will be out in time for the Show-Me State's bicentennial in 2021.
Options for the plate design will be presented at four public hearings across the state, including the following:
Tuesday at the Kansas City Area District - MoDOT building, 600 NE Colbern Road, Lee's Summit.
Oct. 25 at the MoDOT Transportation Management Center, 14301 S. Outer 40 Road, Town and Country.
Nov. 1 at the Tinnin Fine Arts Center in Poplar Bluff.
The initial hearing was held in September in Springfield.
All sessions begin at 6 p.m. The public is invited to discuss the plate options at the meetings. Online voting will be open through Dec. 1 at missouri2021.org.
Missouri became the nation's 24th state on Aug. 10, 1821. Planning for statewide commemorations began in 2013, after the 97th General Assembly selected the State Historical Society of Missouri to spearhead the efforts.
