A Vision in Motion: $1.3 Billion Investment in St. Charles County

Marie Moore, President of Mercy Washington and Lincoln Communities

Progress 64 West was honored to host Marie Moore, President of Mercy Washington and Lincoln Communities, as our June Luncheon speaker. Her message was not only timely—it was transformational.

Marie shared plans for Mercy’s new hospital in Wentzville, which—combined with infrastructure investments from MODOT, St. Charles County, and local municipalities—represents a projected investment of up to $1.3 billion in St. Charles County. This is more than just a healthcare expansion—it’s a powerful symbol of regional collaboration and long-term vision.

Mercy’s project will bring:

• Expanded access to critical healthcare services in a rapidly growing corridor

• Hundreds of permanent jobs and construction-related employment

• New pathways for talent development, community wellness, and healthcare innovation

At Progress 64 West, we champion the growth of the city of St. Louis, St. Louis County and St. Charles County through strategic partnerships, economic advocacy, and infrastructure development. Mercy’s investment embodies all three.

As we move forward, this project stands as a case study in what’s possible when healthcare, government, and civic leadership align with purpose. We’re proud to support initiatives that don’t just change skylines—but lives.

Stay tuned for more updates as the vision for St. Charles County continues to come to life.
