Lake County is leading one of the most dynamic economic transformations in the Midwest. With over $1.7 billion in new investment, and thousands of jobs created and retained over the last five years, Lake County is proving its strength and leveraging Chicagoland’s assets – so much that the Chicago Tribune is taking note.
Belle Aire Creations, Tolmar and Fortune Brands Innovations are among the many companies that have recently boosted economic growth in Lake County by investing in expansions and people.
They’re tapping into world-class talent, space and industry leaders while benefitting from an infrastructure of support made possible through our work with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Lake County, Job Center of Lake County, Lake County Workforce Development Board, College of Lake County, Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, Lake County Tech Campus, World Business Chicago, Illinois EDC, iBIO, Illinois Manufacturers’ Association and more.
