North St. Louis County

There are 350,000 residents living in the 45 municipalities and unincorporated area located within the North St. Louis County region. North County hugs the curves of the Missouri River just west of its confluence with the Mississippi, wraps around Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, skirting the northern city limits of St. Louis.
Successful businesses of all sizes, chambers of commerce, neighborhood associations, individual professionals, residents, churches, hospitals, schools, law enforcement agencies and a variety of other institutions make up our membership.
As an advocate for North St. Louis County, NCI is connecting our community, municipal and business leaders to collaboratively work toward positive growth, economic development (commercial and housing), and marketing to sustain our great quality of life. NCI is a 501(c)6 and North County Regional Development Association is our 501(c)3.
