Workforce & Industrial Development

Spanning the Illinois-Iowa border along the Mississippi River, the Quad Cities region—including Moline and Rock Island in Illinois—has established itself as a strategic center for advanced manufacturing, logistics, and agribusiness. The area benefits from direct access to major highways (I-74, I-80, I-88), regional rail, and the Quad Cities International Airport, making it an attractive location for companies seeking efficient supply chain routes and distribution networks.

Recent industrial developments have focused on modernizing existing sites and creating shovel-ready parks, such as the MidAmerican Energy Industrial Park, to meet the needs of expanding manufacturers and logistics providers. Vacancy rates remain low, with demand driven by both local expansions and new entrants seeking proximity to Midwest markets.

The Quad Cities region is known for its collaborative workforce development efforts. Through partnerships with local community colleges and the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity, employers can access customized training and recruitment programs tailored to advanced manufacturing, logistics, and skilled trades. The Quad Cities Chamber also provides support for talent attraction and retention.

Illinois offers a range of incentives for industrial investment, including the EDGE Tax Credit Program and property tax abatements for qualifying projects. Local governments in Rock Island and Moline supplement these with infrastructure grants and site development assistance, further enhancing the region’s appeal for industrial growth.
