About the St. Louis Mosaic Project
The St. Louis Mosaic Project began in 2012 under the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership and the World Trade Center-St. Louis. Its goals are to make St. Louis the fastest growing US
major metropolitan area for immigration by 2025 and to increase the foreign-born regional population by 25,000. St. Louis Mosaic Project aims to be a cultural mosaic because this community believes that immigrants invigorate our region, drive innovation, and take us back to our roots. The St. Louis Mosaic Project’s goal is to transform St. Louis into the fastest growing metropolitan area for immigration by 2020 and promote regional prosperity through immigration and innovation. The St. Louis Mosaic Project was launched in 2012 in response to an economic impact report, outlining St. Louis to be lagging in immigrant growth as well as highlighting the economic benefits of increasing its foreign-born population. The Mosaic Project is a regional initiative that is professionally managed by St. Louis Economic Development Partnership, World Trade Center St. Louis and a 22-member committee.
