Our Story
The Development Association of Rock Island (DARI) began in 1986. Thirteen charter members sought to create a private sector non-for-profit to revitalize the Rock Island economy devastated by the collapse of Midwestern manufacturing in the mid-1980’s. Early on, DARI developed a bias for action. Following the defeat of a proposal to resurface downtown streets with a special tax district, DARI members pledged an amount equal to that which the special tax would have generated.
The spirit of inclusion has remained a key ingredient in DARI’s success, has always maintained a membership of about 65 members, and has continued to be the organization to get things done. DARI responds in creative ways to move important projects forward. Whether downtown or at commercial or industrial sites throughout the city of Rock Island, DARI continues to be an economic development-driving machine working through its strong partnerships to expedite projects and grow the community.
DARI gives the private sector a vehicle through which it can fund highly focused redevelopment efforts undertaken with a variety of partners. Its success stories are visible on every corner, from city neighborhoods to industrial parks.
In its 32nd year, DARI continues to earn the reputation for the ability to find a way to get the tough jobs done. DARI and its members have worked with city officials and others to lead the way on job growth, industrial site redevelopment, community marketing, neighborhood revitalization, riverfront and streetscape improvement, educational reform initiatives, and providing a space where the community’s voice is heard.
