Chicago and its suburbs are taking new steps to lure companies to the region after high-profile corporate departures rocked the city last year.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and other county leaders announced a plan to promote the region over the next three years, and to commit $1 million in 2023. The marketing campaign will promote Chicago and its metropolitan area’s extensive rail connections, diverse talent and world-class research institutions to boost the region’s competitiveness.
