The Investor’s Council is comprised of more than 200 businesses in the bi-state region that have invested in the Campaign for a Greater St. Louis. In 1995, the Campaign raised $14 million to help market the region, retain existing businesses, recruit new businesses and promote legislative agendas conducive to job growth. Building on the momentum created in the first five years, the RCGA has begun a new Campaign for a Greater St. Louis. The following are investors as of December 1999.
