The SLCEC received the recognition on behalf of the Midwest China Hub Commission.
"The Economic Council's strong commitment to our mission, makes us one step closer to achieving our ultimate goal: making St. Louis a cargo hub to China," said Commission Chairman Mike Jones.
Dubbed "The Big Idea," the commission proposes the St. Louis region become China's primary gateway into the American Heartland through dedicated cargo flights connecting St. Louis with China.
