Growth in clients, staff, services inspires November move for The Project of the Quad Cities
MOLINE — The Project of the Quad Cities is moving to accommodate its growth in clients, staff and services. The nonprofit founded in 1986 to focus on prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS now provides behavioral health care, LGBTQ+ health care, and gender-affirming care. Its move to 4101 John Deere Rd., from its River Drive home, will mean 7,000 more square feet and more rooms for treatment, support groups, trainings, education and more.
