Economic Development - Sites and Buildings 

 
The City of St. Charles uses the LocationOne system, a part of the Missouri Department of Economic Development website, to organize and provide public access to information on available buildings and sites.

Discover! 370 Missouri’s High Tech Connector is a regional initiative that highlights the development opportunities of Highway 370, a six-lane interstate-quality freeway that connects St. Charles and St. Louis Counties. In the next ten years, it is forecast that over $1 billion of new investment will occur and create 20,000 new jobs on 5,000 acres of land. Over 1,000 acres of fiber-optic ready business parks and land zoned for commercial and industrial development are located within the City of St. Charles.

Because the city also has historic districts and buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, these locations are eligible for Missouri’s 25% historic tax credits and federal historic tax credits of 20% off the developer’s/owner’s tax liability. The ambience of St. Charles’ Historic Main Street attracts over 1,500,000 visitors annually and is the center of dining, music, shops and a magnet of office developments of primarily technology-based companies.

Our small business incubator, the Advanced Technology Center@Historic St. Charles, is open and ready to serve up to 25 new and early-stage technology-based businesses. This facility, located at 118 North Second Street, offers a unique professional business environment that includes: cost-efficient space, business management consultation services, T-1 phone lines, access to the Internet via enhanced DSL, technical assistance, access to financial programs, and use of conference rooms.
