Provincial Programs Available in St. Louis
These state-level and provincial grant programs are active and open to qualified businesses operating in the St. Louis area:
Missouri Works
Agency: Missouri DED
This is the state's #1 incentive. Instead of sending employee withholding taxes to the state, the company KEEPS them (up to 100% for 5-6 years). This is essentially a cash grant paid out every payroll cycle. It also offers refundable, transferable tax credits.

Business Use Incentives for Large-Scale Development (BUILD)
Agency: Missouri DED
BUILD reduces infrastructure costs for massive projects. The state issues bonds to pay for things like roads, sewers, or utility hookups for the new facility. The company uses tax credits to pay off the bond debt.
