You could say that Missouri powers the space program.
Our location and extensive logistics infrastructure make it simple and efficient to ship energy-related products around the world. And Missouri’s low cost of energy, combined with low cost of living and doing business, positions Missouri as a prime location for manufacturers in the energy sector.
Missouri’ solar market grew much faster than the national average from 2009-2013. And northwest Missouri is located on the edge of the wind belt making it a stellar location for investing in the wind industry supply chain.
