Peoria, IL – (September 25, 2009) – The Heartland Partnership has received great response to its new website, Insider’s View video and Annual Progress Report which were all released September 16th.

This website will also serve as a news outlet for the general public, investors, members and media. All of the news releases regarding The Heartland Partnership family of companies will be posted online and there is also a listing of potential speakers for community events and interviewees for the media to consider when searching for an expert on a story.

The Heartland Partnership did not host an annual meeting this year and instead this information was released online as part of the family of companies’ ongoing commitment moving the Central Illinois Region forward through economic and community development. Keeping you informed is one more way The Heartland Partnership is helping to move this region from good to excellent.
