The Jacksonville Regional Economic Development Corporation is focused on job creation as a form of economic development. We know that when more jobs are created in our communities, everyone prospers.
Jobs bring wealth into our communities because when a resident gets a good paying job, they spend their dollars at local restaurants, stores, service providers and organizations. For many of our investors, this means an increase in their own revenue or customer base.
Attracting new businesses and helping current businesses expand leads to more jobs, a broadened tax base and enhanced services for the benefit of all in our community.

The City of Jacksonville is located in west central Illinois, 35 miles west of Springfield, the state capital. It is the county seat of Morgan County and one of the oldest towns in the Land of Lincoln, founded in 1825. Jacksonville was established by Yankee settlers from New England, who laid out farms, constructed roads, erected government buildings, and established post routes. They were part of a wave of European/American farmers who headed west into what was then the wilds of the Northwest Territory, during the early 1800s. Download Here!
