Council hears how Chamber, county and state partners factor into Rolling Meadows' economic strategy
Summary
City Manager Alex Slabo said the city works closely with the Chamber of Commerce, Cook County's economic office and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity on incentives and recruitment; he said the Chamber is pursuing a growth plan and cited outreach to the Spanish Trade Commission and state resources for larger projects.
City Manager Alex Slabo told the committee that Rolling Meadows collaborates with the local Chamber of Commerce and with county and state economic development agencies to pursue incentives and to recruit larger or international employers.
"We've developed a solid relationship with our chamber here in Rolling Meadows," Slabo said, adding the Chamber is member-driven and currently working on a growth plan to reestablish independent operations after a cooperative phase.
Slabo said the city also coordinates with the Cook County Bureau of Economic Development on county tax-incentive applications and with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity on larger projects that may require state assistance; he cited meetings with representatives of the Spanish Trade Commission as an example of outreach that can support international recruitment.
