Catapult will keep public art while adding Missouri job center and employer hiring students in Cape Girardeau
Summary
A presenter said the Catapult building on Broadway will retain public-facing art while adding a Missouri job center on the first floor and a branch of Arsenal Business Growth on the second floor that will employ CMOS students and alumni.
A presenter said the Catapult building on Broadway in Cape Girardeau will retain its public art while adding a Missouri job center on the first floor and a branch office of Arsenal Business Growth on the second floor, and that an employer on the top floor is hiring CMOS students and alumni.
“What everybody knows and loves about Catapult is a lot of times that art,” the presenter said, noting the building will remain open to the public for art engagement. The presenter added that the first floor now hosts a “full functioning Missouri job center.”
The presenter described Arsenal Business Growth, a St. Louis-based outsourced B2B sales organization, as occupying the building’s second floor. “Arsenal Business Growth is a outsourced business to business selling organization,” the presenter said, and the branch is “almost completely run by CMOS students and alumni,” providing hands-on work experience while offering small businesses access to outsourced sales development.
The presenter said the combination aims to preserve Catapult’s arts presence while adding employment services and employer space that could bring new business to Cape Girardeau. The transcript does not record any formal vote or action; the remarks were presented as an update on the building’s uses and partnerships.
