Redco has been called the “poster child” for cooperation in economic development circles. From the original partnerships between the City of Marion and the Marion Area Chamber of Commerce has grown a unique network of communities, governmental units, business enterprises and private citizens who are all on the same page when it comes to promoting economic development. The purpose of this spirit of cooperation and partnership is to provide opportunities for employment for the citizens of Williamson County and Southern Illinois, a task that Redco embraces enthusiastically.
