Illinois State Representatives Charlie Meier of Okawville and Dwight Kay of Glen Carbon teamed up to introduce a House Resolution encouraging the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency campus to build the agency’s new facility in Illinois.  The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency plans to build a new campus in the Saint Louis region by 2021 and is estimated to generate 3,000 jobs.  The federal agency is currently considering four potential locations, which include Fenton, Mehlville and North Saint Louis City in Missouri, as well as Saint Clair County.  According to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, anyone who sails a U.S. ship, flies a U.S. aircraft, makes national policy decisions, fights wars, locates targets, responds to natural disasters, or even navigates with a cellphone relies on NGA.  Meier added, “Saint Clair County makes the most sense logistically for the intelligence agency since the proposed site is adjacent to Scott Air Force Base and I-64.  In real estate they say it’s all about location, location, location and the resolution we are filing serves as a reminder that Saint Clair County, Illinois serves as the most logical and best location.”  Earlier this month, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers along with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency held three public open houses to obtain input.  According to media reports, the open house in O’Fallon, Illinois had the most turnout, estimating over 150 in attendance.  Pending the NGA’s decision, the new intelligence agency campus is estimated to begin the construction process in April 2016.
