SelectOFALLON is the economic development department of the City of O’Fallon, Missouri, part of the St. Louis metropolitan area. The department manages business recruitment, retention and expansion for the city and partners with state, regional and private-sector partners to encourage investment and development.[1] [2]

History & Mission

SelectOFALLON was rebranded in 2018 to centralize O’Fallon's economic development activities under a single program. According to city sources, its mission is to promote business investment, economic growth, and job creation through collaboration with developers, site consultants, and municipal departments involved in permitting, planning and infrastructure. [3][2]

The department also administers local and state incentive programs for qualifying business projects and provides assistance for site selection, permitting coordination and financing tools such as property tax abatements, sales tax exemptions, and industrial revenue bond financing (e.g., Chapter 100). [1][2]

City officials describe O’Fallon's approach as a “four pillar” model focusing on industrial, high-tech, retail/commercial and residential sectors.[4]

Partnerships

SelectOFALLON works with multiple organizations involved in business development, including Missouri Department of Economic Development, O’Fallon Chamber of Commerce and the St. Louis Regional Chamber. [1]

The department also coordinates with the city's Planning and Development office to streamline zoning and permitting for incoming businesses. [1]
