QC, That's Where? That's where a family of communities spanning Illinois and Iowa meet the mighty Mississippi River. It's where the Midwest is the choice of homegrown business, global headquarters and more than our share of artists, festivals and fun. QC, that's where there's down-to-earth people. Downtowns on the riverfront. And craft beers on the ale trail. That's where there's local food, global cuisine, world-beating innovation and some of the kindest people on the planet.
QC, That's Where "we" the region's residents "Quad Citizens" call home.
Quad Citizens are the movers, the shakers, the people who make things happen for our community! The small businesses and the mega-corporations. The arts and cultural institutions and the academic institutions. The students who are doing amazing things and the local doers who are making new things happen.
