finally, one of those "ceo decides to move company where he lives" works in our favor.

This makes a lot of sense. Our location is central to many of the retailer HQ’s that they serve. I hope this can lead to additional headcount in coming years.
Plus we have a pretty rich talent pool in both marketing and CPG. Great news.

Another win to follow.
Local exec named to lead new St. Louis-based joint venture developing electric systems for 'flying cars' https://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/new ... anufacture
“A new St. Louis-based company formed to develop electric propulsion systems for the aerospace industry – specifically, electric systems for emerging aircraft that have been described as “flying cars' – has received all required regulatory approvals and has named a local exec to lead the company.”
“Nidec Aerospace said its “launch-customer” is slated to be Eve Air Mobility (NYSE: EVEX), an independent company launched out of Embraer that’s developing an eVTOL aircraft for urban travel.”

I don’t know how nobody has been able or
maybe not has tried to get Post Holdings out of this HQ. I mean this is brutal. Cardinals or someone Downtown should throw some free money at them for a while and I think that may do it.

Panera to lay off 17% of their corporate workforce. This is likely going to hit STL corporate pretty hard.

There is never a good time being laid off, but a tight labor market is the best time. All of these people should have no problem finding other gigs in the region.

^ ultimately yes, but STL labor force isn’t growing enough naturally. I would guess St. Louis has lost out on more companies siting a slim available labor market than crime/housing/poverty this decade. I know it’s come up at my job/company.
Freeing up 300 white collar professionals could be the difference between an already present company meeting labor needs and packing up.

Six Flags Merges With Cedar Fair, a Rival Amusement Park
Curious to see how this will affect Six Flags St. Louis (and, by extension, Worlds of Fun).

Probably not much, if at all. The new combined HQ will be in Charlotte, NC with Cedar Fair maintaining their large office presence in Sandusky, OH. So a lot of the proposed cost savings are probably just corporate efficiency from merging the two. From a customer experience point of view, I would bet they create a new All Park, All Season Pass or something equivalent. Even from a branding perspective, looks like Six Flags will eventually be the branding at the Cedar Fair locations. All this to say, I don't believe there are any direct changes for SF STL. Any future ride additions, changes, or what not will be based on park specific needs that would happen regardless.

Oh yeah, for sure. I also wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of an underperforming park or two (*cough* La Ronde).
Man, Six Flags has fallen a lot since I worked there.

Clayco to add 400 jobs as it consolidates St. Louis-area workforce into high-profile North County site
Clayco is investing nearly $50 million to acquire and renovate a building that was part of Express Scripts headquarters in Berkeley. The construction and development company plans to consolidate its 550-person St. Louis-area workforce into the new offices next year and add another 400 jobs over the next several years.

^Great news! I would love for Bob Clark to move the HQ back here. I know he chases all of that Chicago muni work, so it benefits him to HQ there, but that is still a big win for STL.

Fwiw, their HQ is staying in Chicago. This has no effect on it moving back.

Great W for StL. Love to see the added jobs.
Anyone else at least a little amused that after dragging StL for thinking small and lacking dynamism, Bob Clark moved the entire local workforce to an ugly suburban office park next to the airport?
Edit: it’s not even really an office park, it’s mostly warehouses. Even less dynamic.

Yes and no, talk is cheap and a real commitment on his part would require forking over some dough to get signature office space downtown (say anchor tenant on another BPV building) and willingness to bump up some salaries. Heck, once upon his time their development company was trying to buy 909 Chestnut.JaneJacobsGhost wrote: ↑Nov 07, 2023Anyone else at least a little amused that after dragging StL for thinking small and lacking dynamism, Bob Clark moved the entire local workforce to an ugly suburban office park next to the airport?

As same time, the location really does speak to the fact that Clayco has been county based employer so the workforce is where it is and has made its bread & butter off industrial development/warehouse nationwide. So no surprise he found a cheap place to expand, surrounded by industrial development they are know for and near the airport

You’re probably right, but this change is uninspired even for St. Louis county.
I did initially think of 909 Chestnut though. If Clayco committed to Somera Road that building would get redeveloped quickly.
Edit: I take it all back. This isn’t just uninspired it’s absolute horse crap. There’s nothing more dynamic happening in StL right now than what’s shaping up on Chouteau’s Landing - a construction industry focused development. Shame on Clayco.

This is a good thing, sorry fellow urbanists who disagree. Obviously a prominent downtown or Clayton office would’ve been exciting but this is an important save.
I guarantee Bob already has ideas on how to activate the area around it further, including closer to MetroLink.
Not to mention, an update of this building is going to provide a freshness to the first stretch of interstate visitors experience while in town.
