St. Louis Equitable Economic Development Framework
A city-wide strategy to support existing businesses and create economic opportunity for all St. Louisans
The Strategy positions St. Louis on a path towards a more equitable and robust economy where the distribution of resources, opportunities, and burdens are driven by future possibility rather than race, income, or historic patterns of investment. The framework seeks to position St. Louis to compete regionally and globally for jobs and catalyze the transformation of St. Louis’ neighborhoods through a commitment to “quality of place” throughout the city.
“The hallmark of our plan is connecting people, neighborhoods, and jobs, so that we can address decades of inequity and disinvestment and, instead, help all St. Louisans build wealth through opportunities and strengthen our neighborhoods,” – Mayor Lyda Krewson
