Conditions in Zion are ripe for industrial
growth, and the cornerstone of planned growth in Zion is the
Trumpet Technology Park, a tract of land northwest of downtown
bounded by State Line Road on the north, Green Bay Road on
the east, Illinois Route 173 on the south and the Union Pacific
Railroad on the west.
Trumpet Technology Park contains more than 1,000 acres, with
more than 400 acres earmarked specifically for mixed industrial-commercial
use. Attributes of the site include:
- Central location, 45 minutes by auto from both Milwaukee
and Chicago.
- Superior location within 4½ miles from the Interstate,
and served by major connecting highways between the site
and the Interstate.
- Two airfields supporting small jets within 15 minutes,
in addition to O'Hare International Airport in Chicago
and Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee.
- Redundant power sources and on-site distributed generation.
- Existing Infrastructure: The site is located along an
improved state highway, Green Bay Road, offering a direct
artery to Wisconsin and US 41 and I-94. Along this roadway
the city is quickly implementing its comprehensive plan
to bring city water and sewer services. Other utilities
are already present. Our current water allocation is more
than sufficient to meet the needs of this light industrial
and business park development.
- An available, well-skilled work force.
- “Host” community of Zion willing to offer
local incentives tailored to company needs.
- Multiple state incentives provided for qualifying developers.
Trumpet Technology Park is not the only property in Zion
suitable for development. A major component of the city's
development efforts has been the purchase and rehabilitation
of various buildings and properties to prepare them for industrial,
commercial and retail use. We are currently working in conjunction
with DECCA and other state and county agencies to offer incentives
tailored to meet your company needs.
Please contact Delaine Rogers, Director of Planning and Economic
Development, at 847-746-4015 for locations and attributes
of other properties.
