The Greater St. Louis, Inc. team spent a day last week exploring Jefferson County alongside the Jefferson County Growth Association. Participants — including representatives from Jefferson College, Jefferson County EDC, Jefferson County Port Authority, and Jefferson County — visited key sites, toured leading companies, and met with business and community leaders, all working to grow Jefferson County.
“This county-wide tour was a good reminder that regional growth isn’t abstract,” said Stephanie O’Donnell, Senior Director, Greater St. Louis, Inc. “It’s happening in very real places, led by people who are doing the work every day. Jefferson County is a big part of that story right now.”
