The construction industry in St. Louis is buzzing with opportunity, and MOKAN’s Monthly Member program is at the forefront of supporting contractors, builders, and developers. For nearly 40 years, MOKAN Construction Contractors Assistance Center (CCAC) has been a trusted advocate for minority- and women-owned businesses (MBEs and WBEs), providing invaluable resources tailored to help these businesses thrive in a competitive industry.
A Game-Changer for Minority Contractors
MOKAN serves as a critical bridge between minority and women contractors, general construction professionals, and developers. Through its Monthly Member program, contractors gain access to networking opportunities, business development resources, and guidance on inclusion programs. One of the program’s highlights is its unrelenting focus on fostering collaboration between minority-owned businesses and large-scale projects, creating pathways for growth and inclusion.
For members, this program offers more than just community building. It provides exclusive insights into bidding opportunities on major projects across the St. Louis region, positioning members to secure contracts and build meaningful partnerships.
Spotlight on the Millennium Hotel Redevelopment
A prime example of MOKAN’s relevance is its collaboration with the St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) on the $670 million redevelopment of the iconic Millennium Hotel site, an integral landmark near the Gateway Arch. This ambitious plan, led by The Cordish Companies, includes a 41-story residential tower, a 10-story office building, a retail space, a food hall, and an amphitheater. The project is designed to stimulate economic growth while emphasizing connectivity in downtown St. Louis.
Guest speakers Neal Richardson, CEO of SLDC, and Stacey Fowler, SVP of Minority & Small Business Empowerment at SLDC, have been instrumental in highlighting the critical role minority contractors will play in this significant restoration. Thanks to SLDC’s commitment to equitable and inclusive development, MOKAN members are gaining access to contracts and vital infrastructure projects that will shape the city.
