Community Investment (Outreach)
The Community Investment team works with St. Louis City and County to help businesses grow. We work with municipalities to help them create sustainable communities through economic growth. We are intentional about equitable economic development and work to ensure that our under-served communities have access to the resources that they need to thrive.
You will find us in communities gathering information about issues that businesses, municipalities, and neighborhoods are facing, connecting them with resources that lead to positive solutions. The Community Investment division provides support for redevelop projects that need assistance planning, assessing, or implementing the cleanup of environmental hazards.

Brownfield Redevelopment
A brownfield is a property that may have hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants that need to be cleaned up before the site may be redeveloped.
