You are cordially invited to participate in
The Development of Missouri’s Military Strategic Plan (MMSP)

…by attending one or more public meetings to share your thoughts about how our state could best prepare for an uncertain future affecting our military bases and defense agencies, our defense procurement businesses, and defense-related research and innovation. We will bring together community and civic leaders, chambers of commerce and economic developers, installation support organizations, defense businesses, and researchers and innovators to provide input in developing Missouri’s first ever strategic plan for protecting and enhancing the state’s military and defense industry, an important sector that provides jobs to more than 275,000 Missourians, $40 Billion in economic activity, and includes over $6 Billion in direct personal earnings.
