What’s behind Fortune Brands Innovations’ decision to expand in the Village of Deerfield, Illinois and create capacity for up to 1,000 jobs? According to CEO Nicholas Fink, the area has the “strongest professional labor force,” a “deep talent pool,” and “competitive incentives” from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Our president Kevin Considine couldn’t agree more, telling the Chicago Tribune that Lake County is the perfect place to grow a business because it is centrally located, with prime access to transportation, phenomenal communities, and a huge concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters.
“It’s a great endorsement of Lake County, and frankly the Chicagoland region, when you’ve got premier locations in our communities and great, Class A space that’s still in demand,” Considine said.
