Our mission is to serve the Cape Girardeau area and its businesses as the principal advocate in fostering economic progress, vitalizing jobs, and improving the quality of life

Born on the Mississippi River more than 200 years ago, Cape Girardeau has evolved from a tiny French trading post to a frontier settlement governed by a Spanish commandant to a thriving, culturally-rich community of some 40, 000 residents on the world's only inland cape.
