Site Selection Magazine has once again ranked Chicagoland as the #1 metro in the U.S. for corporate relocation and expansion—a title we’ve held for 12 years running. In 2024 alone, 140 pro-Chicago business decisions created 14,800+ new jobs, proving that companies keep choosing our region for its world-class talent, infrastructure, and economic strength. This achievement isn’t just about Chicago, it’s about the entire region. Through the Greater Chicagoland Economic Partnership, we’re working together across the city of Chicago and the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will to attract investment, expand businesses, and drive job creation. https://lnkd.in/g3JtmtQm
