Home MenuBusiness Retention & Expansion
Peoria's Business Retention & Expansion (BRE) team is available to meet with local Peoria area business owners. We can advise on matters related to business expansion, workforce recruiting and training, as well as resources that are available to small business owners and entrepreneurs. We can assist with:
- Providing information on applicable business assistance programs, such as grants or funding.
- Making introductions to facilitate discussions, including those to resolve planning or regulatory impediments to expansion plans.
- Introducing local business to support networks, potential suppliers and partners.
Through our BR&E initiatives, the Economic Development team has been working closely with the business community to create helpful tools and programs for businesses, such as the City of Peoria’s Business Visitation Program and Grow Peoria!
Business Visitation Program
The City of Peoria’s Business Visitation Program is a part of our business retention strategy. The program enables our Economic Development team to understand better the goals of your business. This program will allow us to refer customers to suppliers, provide businesses with opportunities for growth, and act as an avenue to develop business relations with local key contacts. We acknowledge your business as a valued contributor to the community.
