OTTAWA — The headquarters for the Illinois River Road National Scenic Byway has moved to Ottawa.

On Thursday, the move from its former Peoria location to the North Central Illinois Council of Governments (NCICG) office in Ottawa was celebrated with an open house.

The move is part of NCICG’s ongoing effort to support community and economic growth throughout the region. The Byway links more than 100 nature sites that provide recreational and educational opportunities to visitors while showcasing and preserving their natural, archaeological and historical significance.
