Dan talks with Chris Setti of the Greater Peoria Economic Development Council for a wide–ranging discussion - starting with a fun recap of Chicago and Peoria sports culture, and moving into how local businesses are positioning themselves through expansion, relocation, and long-term planning. Chris emphasizes that certainty is a major factor for companies making investment decisions. They also explore the growing role of data centers, including how the new Pekin data center came about, its current due diligence phase, and why both companies and communities must be prepared to answer tough questions during the evaluation process.
