Coy and Irwin Bring significant Economic Development and Public Policy Expertise to the RCGA

Robert Coy, Jr., the new RCGA senior vice president for Economic Development leads the RCGA’s economic development staff and directs the St. Louis region’s existing business development, target marketing, new business recruitment and new economy technology-based economic development activities.


Robert Coy

Coy has more than 20 years of experience in the field of community and economic development. He has worked under the governors of both Pennsylvania (Governor Dick Thornburgh and Governor Bob Casey) and Delaware (Governor Tom Carper) in leading key economic development roles in those states, and most recently was Vice President of an international non-profit association joining 40 nations in housing, community and economic development ventures.

He has held leadership positions in the attraction and retention of jobs, forging statewide labor/management partnerships in economic development, the development of technology-based economic development initiatives, and the creation of the national model for workforce enhancement.

Tom Irwin is the RCGA’s new senior vice president of Public Policy, a newly-created position on the RCGA senior staff. Irwin brings to the RCGA more than 25 years of diverse public policy experience and a strong enthusiasm for creating positive momentum in the St. Louis region. In his new position, Irwin heads the RCGA Public Policy staff and directs the St. Louis region’s legislative activities in both Missouri and Illinois, as well as in the U.S. Congress, on behalf of the region’s business community. He also oversees the Forward Metro St. Louis initiative and the RCGA’s infrastructure and environmental management programs.


Tom Irwin

Irwin’s diverse public policy experience includes serving in lead staff positions to Mayor Kevin White in Boston, Mayor Vincent Schoemehl in St. Louis, and to St. Louis County Executive Buzz Westfall, as well as serving as deputy director of the city’s economic development agency, as executive director of a statewide agency, and most recently as Executive Director of the Bi-State Development Agency.
