The Rock Island Arsenal (RIA) has been a significant presence in the Quad Cities area for over 150 years. Established in 1862, it has developed into a major center for manufacturing, logistics, and defense support for the U.S. Army. The Arsenal employs over 6,000 civilian workers and approximately 250 military personnel. It also supports around 14,000 jobs through both direct and indirect employment.
This network extends its influence across a 150-mile radius and contributes more than $1 billion annually to the local economy due to RIA's operations.
