Welcome to East Central Missouri’s economic development site. If you are looking for an area to relocate your business or start one that is close to a metropolitan area, has truck, plane, river, and rail transport, you have found your home. This fascinating region offers reasonable land prices, a work force with that “Midwestern work ethic” and the opportunity to live in an urban or rural setting with various cultural, educational, and community activities.

Please check our various communities through the links provided on this site. We would be happy to receive your phone call, email or letter to provide you with additional information on assistance available in getting you started. Whether it be from us locally, our region or our state, we will be happy to assist you. Missouri recently achieved top 10 status in places to do business in the United States for more reasons than just being conveniently located in the center of the U.S. We’d like to listen to your needs and help you achieve your business goals.
