Great River Economic Development Foundation

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July! 🎆

Independence Day is a time to celebrate freedom, community, and the strength of our nation, including the businesses and communities that drive local economic growth. ❤️🤍💙

In observance of the holiday, our office will be closed on Friday. We will reopen on Monday.

As we celebrate, we’re also reminded that strong communities are built through continued investment, business growth, and economic development that supports opportunity for all. 🌱💼

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday weekend filled with family, fireworks, and celebration. 🎇

Community growth doesn’t happen by chance; it happens through strong partnerships and shared vision. GREDF continues to play an active role in strengthening quality of life and advancing regional development across Adams County and the City of Quincy. 🤝

Current efforts include supporting:
💦 Quincy Riverfront Redevelopment Corporation and its splash pad initiative
🚢 Mid-America Port District with grant applications and development work
🏛️ Strategic projects with the Adams County Board and City of Quincy

Together, these partnerships are helping shape a stronger, more vibrant region for residents and businesses alike.
