Grundy Economic Development Council is a non-profit organization that fosters partnerships among business, labor, community, and education interests to support economic development in Grundy County. It serves as the primary resource for investors, site selectors, and industry leaders seeking to locate or expand operations in the county. Based in Morris, Illinois, the GEDC highlights Grundy County's accessibility, including proximity to Chicago and connections via Interstates 80 and 55, a regional airport, Illinois River ports, and four Class I railroads that underpin logistics and growth. A recent development is the launch of the 2025 Grundy County Summer Internship program, created in collaboration with the Grundy Area Vocational Center to connect students with local employers and opportunities. The GEDC's work centers on aligning education, labor, and business interests to support community growth.
