• State grants help QCA groups welcome more tourists (ourquadcities.com) — State tourism grants are sending new marketing dollars to the Quad Cities Convention & Visitors Bureau, which promotes attractions that draw visitors to Moline and neighboring river towns. While one grant targets Galesburg’s Orpheum Theatre, the Quad Cities award will help boost self-guided tourism experiences that can increase hotel stays, restaurant traffic, and local spending across our metro area. Expect more visitors discovering Moline’s share of those offerings.
