Members of St. Louis REALTORS®,
Recruiting new businesses to our region is a central priority of Greater St. Louis, Inc. and one that is vital to achieving the inclusive growth goals outlined in the STL2030 Jobs Plan. This commitment to business attraction is the focus of AllianceSTL, one of eight strategic initiatives that Greater St. Louis, Inc. now leads as a result of the civic merger on December 31, 2020.
Successful business attraction requires the collective energy and resources of our entire region. Leaders from the business sector, civic organizations, and our local governments all must work collaboratively to present the very best our region has to offer companies actively looking at new markets for expansion or location.
You have a vital role in this work – be our eyes and ears and make introductions when you see opportunities for us to pursue. One of our region’s largest job creation wins in a generation, last year’s Accenture Federal Services decision to add 1,400 new jobs in St. Louis, was an opportunity that began with a personal introduction from one of our local business leaders.
These purposeful introductions are often all it takes to put our skilled team of business attraction professionals in a position to help company executives fully explore the St. Louis region’s competitive business advantages. We currently have a robust pipeline of opportunities across many of our region’s growing industry clusters, but we are asking for your help in making our collective future even stronger.
We ask you to listen, advocate, and make introductions to our team when you believe an expansion or location opportunity exists for our region. Our business attraction team’s work is confidential, complimentary, and vital to the bi-state metropolitan region’s continued success.
Join us in this important endeavor. If you know of an opportunity or an individual we could engage with, please contact Steve Johnson, AllianceSTL’s Chief Business Attraction Officer, at [email protected] or 314-444-1105.
Respectfully yours,
Jason R. Hall
Chief Executive Officer
