ICL Group

The Israeli company had previously announced that it broke ground last year on a $400 million facility in south St. Louis, but the project has increased in scope to more than $500 million and will now be built at 460 East Carrie Avenue.

Companies such as Benson Hill, ICL and EverGrain, which is backed by Anheuser Busch, have doubled down this year on growing the plant-based protein industry in St. Louis.
