Economic Development Council for Central Illinois

The Economic Development Council for Central Illinois is a proactive organization created by the private sector to foster economic growth within the Central Illinois region. By capitalizing on business expertise, we enhance the local economy through targeted financial services, technical assistance, dissemination of critical economic data, and regional marketing. The EDC creates long-term solutions for our investors by cultivating strong relationships with local, state, and federal agencies. We deliver value by developing synergies that attract and retain business. To strengthen the regional economic community, we collaborate with The Heartland Partnership, the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce and other strategic partners.
