SAINT LOUIS (KMOX)  -- Governor Jay Nixon says he still has high hopes for landing a China hub at Lambert-St. Louis airport.

Governor Jay Nixon, who has been working on getting Lambert-St. Louis airport to be a China hub, says he will be meeting with the Chinese Ambassador in Washington, D.C. in December. 

Nixon adds that reigniting Missouri as a transportation and trade hub is something that is part of the future economic future. 

 Earlier this month, the Governor announced the state will be kicking in one million dollars in federal community development block grant funding to help St. Louis land the Chinese freight contract.
