As a Northwestern Illinois community or business leader, you realize that economic development is a critical part of our lives—it helps businesses expand; it creates jobs; it retains our talented youth and strengthens our communities. TCEDA’s model of a public/private organization is designed to bring economic development into our region’s communities and be supported by those communities and businesses who call them home. 

Our belief is that all businesses, counties, communities and organizations within the TCEDA region and beyond will unite to create an environment for business expansion and attraction that ranks second to none.

TCEDA IS NORTHWEST ILLINOIS' BRIDGE TO THE FUTURE!
