Thank you to our investors and industry partners
The work of economic development relies on diverse partnerships across sectors.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our investors and industry partners for their dedication to economic growth in Christian County and Southwest Missouri.
We were honored to join @capitalteams to celebrate their new asphalt plant and expanded operations right here in Christian County.
This expansion will create an estimated 29 new jobs and a 100% increase in production, directly contributing to crucial infrastructure projects that will serve residents, visitors, businesses, and public services across our region and beyond.

Whether it’s moving dirt for the new Cox Rehabilitation Hospital or driving momentum behind key community improvements, she’s helping lay the foundation literally and figuratively for Christian County’s future.
Her proudest achievement? Building an amazing team and uniting partners who are committed to growing our region with purpose.
Outside the office, Kristen’s a lifelong Ozarks local who loves exploring new places with her husband and son, and supporting the events that make this community shine.
