The city of St. Joseph will continue its economic development agreement with Cornerstone Alliance. The matter came up at Monday’s meeting of the St. Joseph City Commission as Cornerstone’s Rob Cleveland recapped some recent work the organization has done to attract investment.

“We always like to bring site consultants here,” Cleveland said. “As you’ve heard me say before, the Senior PGA is really our event to do that.”

Cleveland said site consultants are frequently in town. He pointed to Whirlpool’s project at the Tech Center as a major win for the community.

“To get them to commit to the St. Joe project is a big deal. At least $60 million of new investment.”

Cleveland also said the water taxi planned by Cornerstone will be out and free for residents to ride starting Labor Day weekend. The city commission approved its continued agreement with Cornerstone Alliance for $30,000.
