Green Spaces, Great Places

A vibrant greenway network is making St. Louis a great home for those who want a better quality of life. The best local economies thrive in places where people can enjoy themselves, discover new locales, stay healthy and relax well. Collaborating with corporations, governmental organizations and other agencies, Great Rivers Greenway is at the forefront of sustainable regional development that will attract a talented workforce for generations to come.

Great Rivers Greenway brings economic growth to the bottom line by giving business and government a treasured local amenity. It gives employees a place to exercise, making them healthier, with less down time. Employees at Missouri Research Park are now connected to the Katy Trail. University of Missouri—St. Louis students and employees at NorthPark business complex can use the St. Vincent Greenway. The Centennial Greenway is connecting Washington University students with the University City Loop business district using an off-road bicycle and pedestrian trail. Students, employees, cities and businesses all reap the economic rewards of greenways and the improved access they provide.
