Targeted Industries
The Rockford Region is an obvious location for warehouses and distribution centers, aerospace and transportation equipment, industrial machinery, and metals manufacturing, as well as back office operations/call centers, food processing, and chemicals manufacturing.
The Rock River Valley region consists of Boone, Ogle, Stephenson and Winnebago counties in northern Illinois and Rock County in southern Wisconsin. The Rock River Valley lies in the heart of the Midwest, at the crossroads of America.
Its central time zone location allows your company to reach its customers from coast to coast during normal business hours. The 45 institutions of higher learning that lie within a 75-mile radius of Rockford provide a skilled and readily available work force. The Rockford Region’s low cost of living and competitive wage rates benefit both employer and employee.
We encourage you to listen to the stories that the businesses in the Rockford area have to tell and hear what the major national site selection and architectural/engineering firm, Carter & Burgess, has to say about our strengths as a region. To begin, select the links in the column at right.
