  • Meredosia, located along the Illinois River in west-central Illinois, is quietly positioning itself as a strategic site for industrial and logistics investment. The town benefits from direct river access, a key advantage for companies requiring barge transportation or intermodal shipping options. Proximity to major highways, including Illinois Route 67 and Route 104, ensures efficient overland freight movement to larger Midwest markets.

    Recent years have seen renewed attention to Meredosia’s industrial infrastructure, particularly following the redevelopment of the former Ameren power plant site, which has opened up new opportunities for large-scale manufacturing and warehousing projects. The area’s available land, coupled with competitive utility rates and access to rail, makes it attractive for businesses seeking cost-effective expansion.

    Workforce development is supported through partnerships with local community colleges and workforce agencies, providing training in

    trades, logistics, and advanced manufacturing. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) offers a suite of incentives—including EDGE tax credits, workforce training grants, and infrastructure assistance—to support new and expanding businesses in Meredosia and Morgan County.

    Local and regional economic development organizations actively assist with site selection, permitting, and connections...
