About TREDD

Two Rivers Economic Development District (TREDD) is an inter-governmental entity that provides planning and technical assistance to counties and communities within the counties of Adams, Brown, Cass, Morgan, Pike, Schuyler and Scott in Western Illinois.

The primary purpose of the TREDD is to develop a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) for the region and oversee its implementation. The TREDD also provides low-cost planning services to current member counties and communities and services to non-member counties and communities on a contractual basis.

Council members pay a nominal per capita membership fee to receive our services. Financial support for the Council and staff is obtained from the per capita membership fees, grant administration fees, planning project fees, and other project or administration programs.

The TREDD strategic plan is developed by a broad representation of individuals from all seven counties who bring experience to regular meetings where the CEDS is reviewed to make sure the goals outlined in that document are being addressed.
