🚀 Rock Island Needs You — and Your Best Ideas.
We’re starting something new. Something rooted in connection, creativity, and community pride.
Introducing the Rock Island Think Tank. Part social club / civic idea society — a space where neighbors become collaborators, where we dream big for our city together. This is for anyone who’s ever said:
🗣️ “Why doesn’t Rock Island have…”
🧠 “What if we tried…”
💛 “I love this city, but I want to make it better.”
Whether you’re into community projects, policy ideas, placemaking, neighborhood events, downtown revival — or just good conversations over coffee (or beer) — we want you at the table.
This will be equal parts social club, think tank, and community-powered action group. No lectures. No gatekeeping. Just Rock Islanders uniting to shape the future we want to live in — and having fun while we’re at it.
Want in? Sign up for our newsletter and get updates on how the Rock Island Think Tank is taking shape and how to get involved.
