You've known our work as the Quad Cities Chamber, building manufacturing strength. Now we're evolving. Grow Quad Cities is a bold, full-service regional economic development organization. Grow Quad Cities will broaden the scope of economic development services, expanding beyond industrial development to market and recruit new industries, mixed-use development and quality of life amenities to the QC.
Our work is focused on:
Business Development
Grow Quad Cities provides site selectors and companies with information, regional data and promotional materials to attract them to the Quad Cities region. The team meets with existing regional businesses, providing the needed know-how to speed up growth or expansion opportunities.
Workforce Development
Access to top talent is everything. It drives business success and sustains it. Grow Quad Cities cultivates programs and partnerships with educators, training institutions, higher education and workforce development partners to create a workforce pipeline.
Quality of Place Development
Grow Quad Cities’ comprehensive strategy focuses on the quality of place. That means a smart mix of entertainment and destination retail, riverfront development, and mixed-use development.
A separate nonprofit entity, Grow Quad Cities, has public and private sector investors and a board of directors.
