Right now is an exciting time for the City
of Zion. As a community, we're experiencing a re-birth and
revitalization. As a lifelong resident of Zion, I've seen
this change begin to take hold. Our local economy has been
strengthened and diversified by bringing in a variety of retail
businesses, industry and upscale housing developments to meet the growing needs of our community.
We believe Zion is a great place to do business. As you become
more familiar with our city, you'll learn that we have all
the essential elements: a skilled workforce; land ready for
development with access to air, rail and highway routes; and
a very strong, almost unprecedented, economic incentive program.
The Economic Development Department of Zion will do many things
to make your transition into our community as easy as possible.
One thing we will not do is waste your time. I've made a personal
commitment to making this process as simple as possible. That's
why, with the full support of Mayor Lane Harrison and the
City Council, we've created the unique “Your Own City
Hall Meeting” pre-development concept. By scheduling
a “City Hall Meeting,” you'll meet simultaneously
with all city officials you'll need to interact with to break
ground on your project. This means you may be able to get
your business up and running months sooner than you may have
expected, and will cut costs in the process.
To schedule “Your Own City Hall Meeting,” or obtain
a packet of information about our city and the various sites
and incentive we have available, please contact the City of
Zion Economic Development Office at 847/746-4015. I look forward
to working with you to forge a relationship between your enterprise
and the City of Zion.
Sincerely,
Economic Development Director
City of Zion, Illinois
