North America’s Logistics Center

Missouri knows logistics, and can get your product to the global market quickly and efficiently. We are the nations rail, river and road crossroads, and a boom-ing epicenter of commerce. We can get your goods anywhere in the world via our international airports, extensive river barge infrastructure, or any of the US Class 1 railroads. CNBC ranked Missouri’s infrastructure 11th best in the U.S. in 2018.

Missouri is home to the confluence of the two largest rivers in North America, the Missouri and Mississippi, and is home to the most northern ice free port on the Mississippi with unrestricted access to the Gulf of Mexico.

Missouri’s central location allows companies to reach more than 50% of the continental U.S. within one-day’s drive, and most of the rest within two. 96% of Missouri’s population lives within 15 miles of a 4-lane divided highway.

O’Reilly Auto Parts, one of the world’s largest auto parts retailer, has taken advantage of Missouri’s logistics tal-ent and assets and has established their headquarters in Springfield, Missouri.

Missouri provides you with a solid business foundation, financial and otherwise. In Missouri, taxes and business costs don’t eat up all of your company’s profits.

Income tax allocationAn important tax advantage for Missouri businesses is the amount of income considered taxable as only income earned in Missouri is taxed. And, in 2020, Missouri’s corporate income tax rate will drop to 4 percent, making us one of the best states in the U.S.

In addition, it is important to note that Missouri has not adopted worldwide or nationwide unitary tax assess-ment in computing multinational corporate income tax liability.

Certified SitesMissouri’s Certified Sites Program also reduces your risk by ensuring there has already been a compre-hensive review of items including the availability of utilities, site access, environmental concerns, land use conformance, and potential site development costs. Having a site “certified” reduces the risk associated with development of particular sites by providing up front and consistent information. Additionally, Missouri’s 50+ years of a AAA bond rating is representative of our solid financial acumen and stable financial foundations.

Missouri has over 43 rail served sites of 50+ acres or more and 170 industrial facilities with more than 50,000+ square feet (LocationOne as of 6/26/2019).
