Like many weeks, this week we concentrated on jobs and economic development. We advanced a proposal [HB840] to create a trade hub at Lambert Airport in St. Louis. Our proposal would provide tax incentives to freight haulers who used the airport in international trade. This proposal is essential to create an international marketplace in Missouri and a demand for our products internationally. The creation of this market will bring new jobs and new investment to our state.
We perfected another economic incentives bill to bring new high-tech companies to Missouri. HB 468 provisions to create the Missouri Science and Innovation Reinvestment Act, or MOSIRA, and attract data center businesses to our state.
Other time on the floor this week was devoted to the discussion of HCS for HB 193, relating to congressional districts. In this bill Montgomery and Warren counties would move to the newly developed Congressional District 3. Current 9th Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer lives in the new 3rd District. The Redistricting process has been an interesting process going from 9 Districts to 8 Districts.
Immaculate Conception Elementary third and fourth graders and parents along with their teacher Lisa Gruenefeld visited this week. I enjoyed having them visit and they got to see our State Capitol which I believe a great display of architecture and engineering.We had other visitors this week; some to just say hello and others to bring issues to our attention. We strive to give each visit and call the deserved time so please feel free to stop by or contact your 99th District office at:
