Economic Development
The communities of Edwardsville and Glen
Carbon are thriving, with new business
investments and developments that add to the
local tax base and build on an already
strong local economy. Leading the effort to
market and promote the area for economic
growth and development is
TheAlliance
of Edwardsville and Glen Carbon,
a not-for-profit organization comprised of
both public and private sector leadership.
 As a public-private partnership, TheAlliance
works closely with local public sector
officials and business and community leaders
in a coordinated effort to develop and
implement an aggressive economic development
program. TheAlliance is often the initial
point of contact that business prospects and
developers make when looking at investing in
the community. In this capacity, TheAlliance
maintains an extensive database of
information that new businesses require when
making a decision on the location for new
projects. Their economic development efforts
are closely coordinated with the
Edwardsville-Glen Carbon Chamber of
Commerce, along with the St. Louis Regional
Chamber and Growth Association and other
regional and statewide organizations.
