Thanks to all who helped make our economy so vibrant. Keep investing. Keep spending.
Now, if we could just get more mixed use development underway in the Heart of Peoria in the Warehouse District, Renaissance Park, and the Rivefront.
A great opportunity out there to start up the Heart of Peoria Development Corporation. Raise capital to make strategic investments in the City. Take advantage of the great Enterprise Zone, TIF, and historic tax credit incentives. Do well while doing good.
Calling all developers and would be developers. Please give me a call if you are interested in developing. Craig Hullinger AICP, Peoria Economic Development, 309 494 8639 hullingerc@gmail.com
