Kyle Moore – President
moorek@gredf.org

For over two decades, Kyle Moore has devoted his life to improving the lives of residents in Quincy and Adams County. He began his career working for his family business, eventually becoming an owner and Vice President. While not working, Kyle would spend his time serving organizations like Big Brother/Big Sisters and the United Way of Adams County. In 2009, Kyle sought to serve his community in an elected capacity and was elected to the Quincy City Council.

Kyle was elected Mayor of the City of Quincy in 2013 and was re-elected in 2017. During his tenure as Mayor, Kyle would develop many programs to enhance the economic climate of the region. To address the shortage in skilled workers, he launched the Quincy Promise, a privately funded college scholarship program. He worked with the District on the Downtown Rental Rehab Program, which formed public/private partnerships to renovate upper story buildings downtown into residential units. In 2018, he formed a bi-partisan group of elected officials and community groups to save the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, which resulted in the State of Illinois providing $230 million for a new campus. A year later, Kyle would offer the “45×30 Plan,” a comprehensive approach to grow Quincy’s population by investing in talent attraction and retention programs, increasing tourism and modernizing the city’s retail incentives.

Kyle was named President of the Great River Economic Development Foundation in 2021, he is only the third person to lead the organization. In his spare time, you can find Kyle rooting on his beloved Los Angeles Dodgers.
