While Ameren's safe, affordable energy powers people's live, our company supports the region's economy, too. Based on independent studies, Ameren companies generate an $8 billion-plus impact on Illinois and Missouri economies - supporting more than 47,000 direct and indirect jobs and household earnings of approximately $2.3 billion. We're proud to be one of the many businesses working hard to nurture stronger communities.

An example is a project recently facilitated by Ameren's Economic Development team and other departments for LMV Automotive Systems in Liberty, Mo. This $42 million automotive parts facility will create 156 new jobs in the community.
   

Beyond that core contribution is the money we spend on infrastructure improvements, tax payments, employee payrolls and supplies and services. All this direct spending brings direct and indirect benefits to thousands of businesses and people across our region.
