Peoria County Company Relocating

In a "Weekly Update" from our administrator, board members are advised that Kelley Iron Works is moving from Farmington Road to a location near Uftring Auto Mall in East Peoria. EDC said several sites in Peoria were examined. Peoria County does not have our own EDC. The board has considered having our own EDC but it has not appeared to be economically feasible.

Maybe someone will comment on the number and names of companies that have relocated from Tazewell County to Peoria County in the last 2 years or so.

I think Roecker Cabinets moved from Morton to the old Foster & Gallagher complex more than two years ago.

Just to name a few-Winpak, Amerhart, RJ Distributing and they all built brand new buildings.

Elecsys moved from Peoria to Pekin after the city council frowned on them locating at the former Builder's Square building due to traffic concerns (!?)
