A Message from Our CEO
Greater Peoria EDC harnesses the efforts and resources of its public and private partners to work collectively to accomplish economic development goals that would be difficult to accomplish individually.
Greater Peoria EDC pools and leverages resources from a broad set of diverse stakeholders to ensure the entire region is successful.
Together, we are more effective at sharing our story, taking advantage of opportunities and voicing issues of a collective concern.
Together, we maximize our chances of success.
