SC STL chairman Paul Edgerley said the group hopes to meet with Greitens to fully understand his position and outline the project's benefits.
"While we were disappointed in the statement yesterday by Governor-Elect Greitens, we respect that he and others may differ from our views," Edgerley said in a statement. "We continue to believe in the substantial economic and other benefits of this project to the State and to the City of St. Louis."
It wasn't immediately clear if Greitens was open to a meeting. Phone and email messages left with his spokesman were not returned.
His statement on Monday, though, made his feelings crystal clear.
