What is One Voice?
One Voice, under the leadership of the Bloomington‐Normal Economic Development Council, is a pro‐community campaign that has brought together leaders from the City of Bloomington, the Town of Normal, McLean County, labor unions, local educational institutions, and local private businesses. These groups form the One Voice Task Force. The campaign aims to make McLean County a stronger economic force and a better place to live.
Each year, the One Voice Task Force picks local projects to support as they seek federal funding. We then travel to Washington, D.C., to meet with our congressional delegation and showcase our community’s united support of the projects.
In 2026, One Voice included meetings with Senators Tammy Duckworth’s team, Dick Durbin, and Representatives Darin LaHood and Eric Sorenson. The trip also included meetings with the Center for American Progress, the Bipartisan Policy Center, the Prince George’s County (MD) Economic Development Corp. (PGEDC), and the Office of Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.
