About the region:

Downtown Davenport is part of a family of communities in a six-county, bi-state region called the Quad Cities. This area is the heart of the Midwest, connected by one of the world’s most renowned rivers, the Mississippi and the regional towns it gave birth to over the centuries. Its affordability, access to many larger markets and an incomparable, diverse workforce make it a prime location for Fortune's 500 and 1000 companies, including John Deere, 3M, Arconic, HNI Corporation, Sears Manufacturing and the Rock Island Arsenal, a major military installation. These major employers are joined by 30,000 additional businesses that create a robust, growing and prosperous economy. 

Our centralized region, the only place where the Mississippi River and Interstate 80 intersect, offers multi-modal transportation options, affording easy, cost-effective access to domestic and international markets. Criss-crossed by four interstates and over a dozen state and federal highways, we are within a 300-mile radius of 37 million people with close access to major markets: Chicago, Minneapolis-St. Paul, St. Louis, Des Moines, Omaha, Kansas City and Indianapolis.

QC offers an open-minded network and dedicated drive that make the region a hub of ambition - with an opportunity to live in a place that’s as genuine as it is quirky, where you can start something and make a difference and enjoy the well-being of an authentic community.
