We were thrilled to join local leaders at a ribbon cutting to celebrate Medline Industries, LP’s state-of-the-art, 1.4 million sq. ft. distribution facility in Grayslake. It is the largest medical-grade center of its kind in the U.S., and it will handle more than $1 billion in annual orders and create 700 new jobs. Medline has operated in Lake County for 50 years, and this investment reflects a commitment to further growth in the community – for that, we are grateful and offer our sincere congratulations and best wishes for a vibrant future. This newsletter also covers a new educational initiative in Grayslake by D127 to chart a new path forward in career endorsements that will improve readiness and help students set career goals. Meet Gina Schuyler who is pioneering the program. Also, Lake County businesses top the charts, and a major investment at Illinois Beach Hotel is set to build on Lake County’s gains in tourism and hospitality.
