The 2016 Economic Development Partnership Annual Meeting brings together leaders from St. Louis City and County to discuss the state of the local economy. This year’s theme is St. Louis Grown and the hot topic is the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency bid, which will relocate the facility in South St. Louis to north of downtown. The new building will bring approximately $1.6 billion dollars worth of investment and 6,000 construction jobs. Speakers include Mayor Francis Slay, St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger, Todd Bastean, Sheila Sweeney, and surprise guest Deputy Labor Secretary Chris Lu.
