About Arlington Heights Economic Development

Arlington Heights is a community of 78,000 residents, making it one of the largest municipalities in the Chicago area.  It is also one of the five largest business communities in the Chicago market, home over 3,000 businesses and 40,000 daytime workers. Arlington Heights offers a vast array of cultural and recreational opportunities, including over 60 public parks and facilities, a Five-star Library (per The Library Journal), an award-winning Downtown, Blue Ribbon-awarded schools, one of Illinois’ Top-20 hospitals (U.S. News & World Report) and the 300-seat Metropolis Performing Arts Centre.

Arlington Heights offers businesses just as much as it offers its residents, with over five million square feet each of first floor commercial/retail space, office space, and industrial/flex space.  Several major companies are significant employers in Arlington Heights, including Amazon, United Airlines, Frito-Lay (PepsiCo), Red Bull, GE Healthcare, and Northwest Community Healthcare.  Also based in Arlington Heights is The Daily Herald, one of the country’s 75 largest newspapers by circulation.

Location is one of the community’s greatest assets.  Arlington Heights has immediate access to three interstate expressways (I-90, I-290, and I-355).  Two Metra commuter rail stations connect Arlington Heights to Downtown Chicago in under 45 minutes, while Union Pacific freight rail also runs through the community.  Meanwhile, O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and Chicago Executive Airport (PWK) are both just a 15-minute drive away.

Arlington Heights remains a hotbed of development and investment.  Nearly 1,000 new residential units are either approved or under construction.  Various financial assistance programs are also available to large and small companies alike, including property tax abatements, interest-free loans, and industrial revenue bonds.
