This coming Monday, Jan. 20, Greater St. Louis, Inc. will join others across the St. Louis region and around the world and pause to honor the life and legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Since our founding, we have remained committed to inclusive economic growth for everyone in our 15-county metro, a goal that requires tenacity, collaboration, and effort.
As we look to the future, we have recommitted ourselves to the work necessary to advance our mission, work that will help to build equity, access, and the opportunity to thrive regardless of one’s race or where one happens to live.
While Monday is a day of reflection at GSL, we will return Tuesday, working to bring new opportunities to areas in need of investment and continue our efforts.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment, partnership, and support.
Respectfully yours,
Dustin Allison, Interim CEO
