A draft of a new jobs plan for the St. Louis metropolitan area is drawing early criticism.
Greater St. Louis Inc., an organization that officially will launch in January merging five economic development groups, released a draft of the STL 2030 Jobs Plan earlier this month for public comment. The organization will collect feedback until the end of January.
