In Elk Grove, manufacturers will discover why the village is host to more than 3,600 businesses; why it is the Number Two Illinois city with the most manufacturing jobs; and why 100,000 people commute from surrounding residential communities such as Itasca, Wood Dale, and Mount Prospect to work here.
The five-square-mile Elk Grove Business Park, the largest industrial park in North America, is in close proximity to O'Hare International Airport and numerous highways such as I-90, I-290, I-355, Route 53, and the Elgin-O'Hare Expressway. This ensures the vital transportation network necessary for making sure your products reach their customers. The 125-acre Northwest Office Park off of I-90 features plenty of available office space and a deluxe hotel situated in picturesque surroundings near Busse Woods. Ample support and assistance (business start-up counseling and employee training grants, for example) are available to local businesses through resources such as the village's Office of Business Development and Marketing; the Illinois Small Business Development Center at nearby Harper College; Cook County tax abatement programs; and the Illinois Manufacturers Association.
Manufacturing businesses continue to choose Elk Grove Village as their home base as they find all of the factors needed for a thriving industrial foundation.
