One Voice 2025 Projects

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 2025, One Voice included meetings with Senators Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin and Congressman Darin LaHood. The trip also included meetings with the US Chamber of Commerce, Rodney Davis, Head of Government Affairs, Frederick (MD), Richard Griffin, Director of Economic Development, National Low Income Housing Coalition, William Cerullo, Housing Advocacy Organizer, and Elizabeth O’Neill, Senior Policy Analyst.
