The EDCNCI was recently given a shout-out for its role in business recruitment and economic growth within the region. In a statewide economic development briefing, leaders of Intersect Illinois and other agencies credited EDCNCI for its forward thinking in winning such large-scale investments as GAF's factory in Peru and Ollie's Bargain Outlet's $68 million distribution facility in Princeton. The mention underscored North Central Illinois as a growing hub for industrial development, thanks to its workforce, logistics advantages, and business-friendly environment.
The recognition serves as a testament to EDCNCI’s dedication to marketing the region and building partnerships that drive long-term economic success. EDCNCI team members have engaged the region and state partners to assist in showing off the strengths of the region, such as the transportation system, lower cost of doing business, and skilled workforce availability. As more businesses recognize North Central Illinois, efforts from EDCNCI continue to position the area as an economic leader.
