The United States Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration, designated Western Illinois Regional Council (WIRC) as an Economic Development District (EDD) for the six western Illinois counties of Fulton, Hancock, Henderson, Knox, McDonough and Warren in 2001. A major component of being an EDD is the preparation of a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS). The purpose of the CEDS and the WIRC’s EDD is to help create jobs, foster more stable and diversified local economies, and to ultimately improve the overall living conditions of the region’s population through community and economic development. Please contact us for a copy of our CEDS report.
