President Notes
The Rockford Area Development Corporation is a not for profit corporation. Our first official meeting of this group was held September 6, 2006. The goals of RADC are to attract new business to the area, enhance the atmosphere for existing business, development of infrastructure, housing and quality of life, enhance employment opportunities, and attract new residents.
In 2008, two projects we are working on in response to our goals:
-Meeting with The Fremont Company, The Village of Rockford and The Mercer County Community Development Corporation to investigate future expansion and funding opportunities to expand our waste water treatment facility.
-Exploring options regarding a pool in Rockford. We are surveying the community to see what they want and are willing to support.
Our membership consists of individuals, government entities, school personnel, organizations and any group or person interested in promoting and growing opportunities in and around the Rockford area. We invite you to become a part of this group of volunteers who are interested in the present and the future of the Rockford area. Please see our membership page for more information on becoming a member.
