Progress 64 West Flashback

Founded in 1987 as Chesterfield Area Civic Progress, Progress 64 West was born from a bold idea: that business, community, and political leaders could come together to shape a region—not just a city.

What started in Chesterfield quickly grew into a movement, with a vision to expand east and west from Highway 270, along the high-tech corridor of Highway 40, all the way to Highway 70.

As that vision took hold, Progress 64 West evolved into a regional convening force—bringing together employers, educators, civic institutions, and elected officials to address shared challenges and seize collective opportunities. The organization embraced a broader mission focused on economic competitiveness, workforce development, infrastructure, and quality of life, recognizing that the success of one community is inseparable from the health of the entire region.

 

By fostering collaboration across municipal boundaries and sectors, Progress 64 West has helped position the corridor as a connected, forward-looking engine of growth for Greater St. Louis—one driven by leadership, innovation, and a commitment to long-term regional prosperity.
