Mitchell Tenpenny Headlines The Rust Belt Saturday
East Moline, IL · November 13, 2026
A frosty bite greets the morning commute, but live stages and weekend markets are already warming up across the Quad Cities.
The Lead
Regional leaders across Rock Island County are putting the final touches on plans for a coordinated winter emergency shelter ahead of plunging December temperatures. Backed by an intergovernmental collaboration among East Moline, Moline, Rock Island, Silvis, Milan, and county administration, the temporary shelter will operate out of the former Winnie’s Place facility at 3906 25th Street in Moline.
Humility Homes & Services will manage day-to-day operations and case management for up to 30 men and women experiencing homelessness from December through mid-March. Under the roughly $240,000 shared operating agreement, municipalities contribute pooled funds while Rock Island County serves as the administrative agent. East Moline elected officials reviewed their local participation earlier this month, ensuring local emergency responders have a direct intake partner when severe cold sets in. County board members cast their concluding vote on fiscal details next Tuesday, clearing the way for building preparations before opening day.
