The city was home to a Ford plant from 1948 to 2006 and employed 1,400 at the time of closure.[16] The site of the former plant is in the process of being redeveloped into Aviator Business Park.[17] On the opposite side of Lindbergh Blvd., after the completion of one building in 2007, the Great Recession and ownership troubles stalled the now-named Hazelwood Logistics Center until the land was sold in 2015. The new owners finishing building out the park with a total of 1.8 million square feet of industrial space completed and leased between 2015 and mid-2018. The industrial park is expected to generate 1,800 jobs.[18] TradePort is a 325-acre industrial park under construction north of the St. Louis Outlet Mall (formerly St. Louis Mills) that upon completion in the mid-2020s will feature up to 4 million square feet of new industrial development.[19]

Hazelwood is home to the headquarters of Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and several facilities for Boeing.
