Regional InformationThe Quad Cities metro area is centrally located within a 300-mile market of over 37 million people comprising 13% of the nation’s population. This is the largest 300-mile market west of Chicago.The Quad Cities region is the center of a 12-county commercial/industrial center, which combines the 6-county Quad City area with Knox, Warren, Whiteside counties in Illinois and Cedar, Jackson, Louisa counties in Iowa. The Quad Cities welcomes all new companies, but the area specializes and excels in areas of advanced manufacturing, financial services, information technology, logistics, food processing and packaging. To name a few, the area is home to Alcoa, John Deere, Kraft, Tyson, Modern Woodmen of American, Honda and the Rock Island Arsenal. Rural areas are made up of rolling farmland, wooded areas, rivers, lakes and streams, allowing the Midwest area to have some of the most versatile landscapes in the country for expansion and growth development. These outlying areas are also known for hog, corn, soybean and cattle production. In addition to the above, this regional area has the unique feature of being the "national hub" of the roadway (interstate) and waterway systems, which provides the foundation for the industries of transportation and riverboat gaming. |
