For the third year in a row, the bi-state St. Louis metro area tops all the cities and towns along the entire Mississippi River corridor by total number of corporate facility investment projects. Fort Madison, Iowa, with a population of just over 32,000, takes the per-capita title. Both areas can look to the chemicals industry as one element in their success.
The rankings are based on projects that qualified for the Conway Projects Database between July 2023 and December 2024 by meeting at least one of three criteria: at least $1 million invested, at least 20 new jobs created or at least 20,000 new sq. ft. of space.
