Southern Illinois Pitches 17-County Model to Lure Firms From Costly Metros

Los Angeles – September 30, 2026 -- A newly filmed segment of the public-television series "Viewpoint hosted by Dennis Quaid" profiles Southern Illinois Now (SI NOW), an economic development organization that has unified a 17-county region into a single point of contact for companies weighing relocation away from saturated metropolitan markets.
