Community Development

Data Research

The WIRC is an affiliate of the Illinois State Data Center. Participation in the State Data Center program allows the WIRC access to numerous documents as published from the different Federal Census programs. Information is available on the census of population and housing, agriculture, manufacturing, retail and service trades, and the yearly report of the County Business Patterns.

WIRC

Acting on behalf of a local government, the WIRC can ensure that funding opportunities for local improvements are made known to local representatives. The WIRC staff can help a community and its local government to formulate a comprehensive plan unique to its own specific community development needs. These services, plus the assistance in the implementation of projects once funded, puts the WIRC Community Development staff in a full service capacity to communities.
