With its expansion, Centene plans to add 1,000 jobs and consolidate another 1,000 positions. It has also proposed building two 30-story office towers by 2020, with one housing a hotel and space for public events and the second providing space for other companies. A third, 25-story office building is being considered as well.
Centene needs to garner design approval for the project to progress, according to the report.
