Welcome to Macomb, the Home of Western Illinois University. You will find that Macomb is a diverse community, with an interesting blend of agriculture, industry, service, retail, and education. We like to think that we have the best of all worlds in Macomb. You can visit a wonderfully rural farmers market and experience the excitement of a major university community, all supported by strong aggressive industries, a progressive medical community and a broad and varied retail and service sector. Located in the west central part of the state and directly in the center of McDonough County, Macomb serves as the county seat and has assumed the position of the regional center for the area by providing not only retail and manufacturing opportunities, but also by providing health care, entertainment and culture services as well. If you are visiting, I hope you leave Macomb with a positive feeling. I encourage you to take advantage of our many resources and I also encourage you to meet and experience our most valuable resource, the innovative, energetic, caring, hardworking people of Macomb. For those of you who are moving to Macomb, we hope you find this community to your liking. Along with the welcome is a challenge and responsibility that as a citizen you must also work hard to make Macomb even better than it is today. Please contact my office so we can make your visit or your new home more enjoyable.
