Posted

The city of Peoria was presented with an Excellence in Economic Development Award from the International Economic Development Council for the creation of Peoria’s Economic Development Profile 2.0.

The comprehensive profile was recognized with a Silver Award in the Promotional Brochures category at the annual IEDC Conference.

“Peoria’s Economic Development Profile 2.0 is a professional, modern brochure that represents the spirit and energy of our city while showcasing all that Peoria has to offer,” said Mayor Cathy Carlat. “Thank you to economic development, the office of communications, and our regional partners for creating this award-winning marketing piece.”

The profile features key development opportunities, city information and important data sets to aid in the strategic marketing and promotion of the city of Peoria. Since its creation, the profile has been presented to a wide range of audiences including site selectors, brokers and prospects, and at multiple activities and events. The profile is available in print and digital formats at www.peoriaed.com.

“Peoria is incredibly focused on attracting companies from key industries that will result in high-quality job creation, aligning with our workforce,” said Jen Stein, Peoria economic development director. “This brochure directly assists with our business attraction efforts and we are honored to accept this esteemed award.”

The International Economic Development Council is a nonprofit association for professional economic developers, with more than 4,800 members. The annual IEDC Excellence Awards recognize organizations for exemplary economic development marketing campaigns, projects, and programs in 25 award categories.

Awards are judged by a diverse panel of economic and community developers from around the world. IEDC received over 500 submissions from the United States and four additional countries around the world. Learn more at www.iedconline.org.
