East Central Intergovernmental Association (ECIA)
The East Central Intergovernmental Association is a membership supported organization of local governmental bodies in Cedar, Clinton, Delaware, Dubuque and Jackson Counties. ECIA exists because of the need for local governments facing similar problems to cooperate in finding solutions. Through ECIA membership local governments share resources that they could not afford individually. The cooperative effort of neighboring governments also means greater efficiency and quality in solving regional problems.
