We assist businesses, realtors and site selection consultants to attract new business and industry to the County. We work closely with the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity and our regional allies to market the County and region.

    Location One Commercial / Industrial Property Search

  • Demographic data

  • Financial incentives

We offer a Business Loan Program that works with area lenders. We administer two of the five Enterprise Zones located within the County that offer several tax credits and exemptions, and we issue industrial revenue bonds to finance larger, eligible developments. We also help business gain access to other local, regional and State incentive programs such as workforce training programs and tax increment financing (TIF) incentives.
