In a recent engagement with community leaders in Grundy County, Illinois, EGI’s Dr. Sarah Crane and Carmen Wells Quigg presented results of the team’s research and economic analysis of the region. EGI’s research and community teams work together to empower communities with detailed analysis that is vital for informed leadership.
Sarah and Carmen met with local community leaders and stakeholders to discuss the findings funded by the Grundy County Economic Development Council and the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce. The report included workforce dynamics, the local housing market, educational attainment, technology, and many other elements that define the economy of the region.
The research will inform an upcoming strategic planning process that will set future priorities for the county.
