Overview
Mission
The quad cities region is comprised of multiple municipalities located in Illinois and Iowa. Having multiple jurisdictions and oversight entities has resulted in fragmented and duplicative use of scarce resources diminishing regional success. There is not an independent entity that seeks to enhance collaboration, coordination, and alignment to accelerate successes which will grow the region and reduce the barriers to success. Areas of focus for alignment, collaboration and coordination include education, employment skill building, childcare, food security, poverty, housing, business development, health, placemaking, and philanthropy. Quad cities regional vision (q2030) is an independent organization that convenes multiple stakeholders to resolve issues, develop and implement strategies to strengthen the region. The framework tackles tough issues facing the bi-state region and leverages opportunities with the best odds to foster transformational change.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2024, the organization transitioned to a volunteer based organization focused on riverfront development, workforce development and regional leadership development. There was no paid staff in 2025.
