The St. Louis Regional Commerce and Growth Association donated their records to the Western Historical Manuscript Collection-St. Louis on January 16 and February 16, 1983. Included are records from the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce, the Metropolitan Plan Commission, St. Louis Research Council, and the St. Louis Regional Industrial Development Corporation (RIDC). The oldest organization, the Chamber of Commerce, was established in 1837 by local merchants and traders. Both St. Louis city and county had chambers and by the early twentieth century, they were urging regional planning and approaches. The difficulties in governing and planning between the hundreds of area municipalities prompted the Chamber to support a 1920 state amendment to merge the city and county (the amendment was defeated by voters). The Chamber consistently supported efforts at planned development of the region across local governing lines, such as the formation the Metropolitan Sewer
District in 1954. Following its own advice, the county and city chambers consolidated in 1963.
The Metropolitan Plan Association began in 1944. Chaired by Stuart Symington, it made a master plan for the metropolitan area to aid in public improvements and provide jobs for those who became unemployed after World War II. It also promoted planned development for the region until its demise in the 1960s.
1. For information on the early history of the Chamber, see History of St. Louis, J. Thomas Scharf, p. 1340, "Commercial Exchanges."
In 1963 the Chamber of Commerce and Civic Progress sponsored a voluntary Committee made up of members of the Chamber, Civic Progress, Washington U. and St. Louis U. to form the St. Louis Research Council. Its purpose was to aid the industrial, commercial, educational, and civic organizations of St. Louis in the development and promotion of the community as a major and nationally recognized scientific, educational and research center. In 1969 it affiliated with the Regional Industrial Development Corporation.
Citizens concerned with St. Louis' decline in industrial development after World War II felt the city was hampered by a myriad of geographic, economic, and political rivalries. Ninety-three organizations and agencies representing business, labor, government, education, and civic groups from St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and Franklin, Jefferson, St. Charles, Madison, Monroe and St. Clair counties, officially founded the St. Louis Regional Industrial Development Corporation in 1965. They claimed RIDC represented the first area-wide approach to the problem, apparently forgetting the Metropolitan Plan. RIDC had the commitment and financial support of labor, business, government, education, and civic leaders.
RIDC identified its task as coordinating the industrial promotion and development of the 4600 square mile area. It would define the problems, assemble the facts and present the results to "those who must hear it and heed it if the St. Louis region is to grow." In 1968 it defined nine goals for itself:
1) help provide jobs for region's growing work force and for unskilled to solve problems of both unemployment and the ghetto.
2) promote labor-management stability to create a climate in which industry can grow.
3) conduct economic research to identify business opportunities for new and existing firms and impediments to economic growth.
4) improve terminal and transhipment facilities.
5) improve the region's image.
6) encourage political unity to increase government efficiency.
7) provide labor training and retraining programs to make the work force responsive to technological change.
8) improve the region's total living environment.
9) create a pool of risk capital to be used as seed money for science-oriented industry.
In September 1971 the RIDC, the Chamber, and the Research Council merged to form the Regional Commerce and Growth Association. With Civic Progress as the overseer of civic and economic planning, RCGA has functioned as the "action arm"--implementing CP's goals, representing St. Louis business interests nationally, and collecting and publicizing information on the region.
SCOPE AND CONTENT
The St. Louis Regional Commerce and Growth Association records contain material from five other organizations, the City Plan Commission, Metropolitan Plan Association, St. Louis Research Council, Chamber of Commerce, and the Regional Industrial Development Corporation. Administrative files and reports and studies from each organization are the major types of records. Most of the records are from the RIDC, which preceded the RCGA. Earlier records of the Chamber of Commerce are located at Missouri Historical Society and the Washington University Archives.
All of these organizations promoted regional cooperation and planning for the development of the area's resources. Taken in sequence the records show how local businessmen increased their support for regional planning as the twentieth century progressed. RCGA and RIDC's reports and studies provided economic and sociological analyses of urban problems in transportation, public works, labor, the environment, capital investment, manufacturing, industrial education, and employment. They also provide statistical data on these problems.
