Committed to improving the quality of life for our members and communities, Jo-Carroll Energy has taken a leadership role in ensuring the success of economic development efforts in Northwest Illinois. We work closely with economic development professionals in Jo Daviess, Carroll, Whiteside and Henry counties.
In 2008, Jo-Carroll Energy was instrumental in forming the Tri-County Economic Development Alliance, Inc.

TCEDA, a private, not-for-profit 501c6 corporation, was formed to develop a regional public/private partnership to promote, encourage and support industrial and economic development in Jo Daviess, Carroll and Whiteside counties.
