Procter & Gamble has spent $80 million upgrading its North St. Louis manufacturing plant over the past two years and is eyeing future expansion that could bring an additional $150 million investment over five years.

P&G has had preliminary talks with St. Louis officials for incentives to help offset equipment and facility upgrades at its 33-acre plant at 169 and 110 E. Grand, located just east of Interstate 70 and two blocks away from the Mississippi riverfront.

The global consumer products company has been upgrading several of its manufacturing lines at the Grand Avenue campus since the start of the year. It plans to break ground by November on a new 25,000 square foot administration building on the campus, which it has owned for nearly a century, said Plant Manager Frank Blumling. “The one we’re in now is 120 years old,” Blumling said.

The East Grand address threw me, but it's well within St. Louis City - fyi.

E Grand and Hall St is a cornucopia of smells with P&G across the street from MSD with the fried fish joint just up the block.

Hilarious man! That sounds almost as bold and zesty as the Carondelet trifecta of River Des Peres x Carondelet Park mulch mounds x Burger King "smoke" at Loughborhough Commons.

The Lighthouse Landing project is supposed to be a resort from what I read with a marina and water park.

I'm excited to hear what this might mean for the north St. Louis riverfront. It sounds like it could be a big deal. 

I wonder if the entirety of the project would be paid for with bonds. If not, it could potentially be even larger than $180 million.

I doubt Proctor & Gamble would be involved with a resort marina and waterpark at that location, which isn't on the water.

No the marina will be far north city near 270. They even mentioned proximity to the future safari park.

Remember when I said things cluster...and generate concentric circles...and become an intertwined gravitational system of attraction?  

This dynamic is a good one.  I had actually never considered the Zoo's investment as a potential linchpin for future symbiotic development.

Bizjournal article on P&G expansion.  Mostly behind paywall.  I think solid manufacturing jobs is a big win.  Especially if expansion happens somewhere else as the north city facility becomes less of an asset overtime.  Now it only becomes more of an asset over time.  

https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/new ... front.html

A development official said St. Louis won a competitive search to keep and expand the factory. It and an entertainment proposal farther north "will continue to transform our riverfront, bring training and quality job opportunities to the citizens of St. Louis and invest in the revitalization of North City," he said.

^Oooh! Ouch! I would never have noticed. Glad for the investment. Still sore about the demo, but . . . well . . . I'll get over it eventually. Maybe.
