Forest Park, well noted as a leader in the field of economic development, is one of the few cities its size to have a separate department for this valuable function. Our development team facilitates economic growth by providing various services to businesses willing to locate or expand in Forest Park. The Forest Park Redevelopment Partnership, an economic development initiative, is designed to promote business within the city's three main retail corridors.

 

The staff also works to attract quality residential development consistent with the character of our community. In the Economic Development Department our primary concerns involve: Business Recruitment, Business Retention, Business Assistance, Business Recognition, and Welcoming Residents.

 

Welcoming Residents
Businesses large and small are made up of individual people who have their own needs. Workers with children may want to know where daycare facilities are located. Someone trying to find an apartment may need a list of the different complexes in Forest Park. If you have questions about our community, don't hesitate to call Economic Development at 595-5207.

If we don't have the answer, we'll get it.
