Several steps have been taken in producing district or area-wide organizations for bringing economic development to the North Central District. One of the first steps was the creation of the North Central Illinois Council of Governments in 1979. This regional council, located in Princeton in Bureau County, provides planning and grant administration services to the primary counties of Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall, Putnam, Stark, and Grundy, along with member communities within those counties.
