Formed in 1982, the Economic Development Council for the Peoria Area is a coalition of local counties whose focus is on the creation of new jobs. Perhaps the only Tri-County organization under one roof, EDC has built its success on a cooperative regional marketing and business development strategy which packages and sells the Tri-County area as a whole. Catalysts for development are EDC’s directors, who work side by side for their respective counties and share the benefits of this regional approach to business and community development.
