Featured testimonial

Jane Blain Gilbertson noted that Elgin's officials and staff have been among the easiest to work with in bringing the business to the city.
The Elgin Development Group, an arm of the Elgin Area Chamber, had been talking with the former tenant since the beginning of the year about a possible deal for the site. The group also met with representatives from Blain's, with then-Assistant City Manager Rick Kozal (who now is manager), and other city staff in January.

As a leading processor, marketer and distributor of shelled and in-shell nuts and snacks, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc.(JBSS), owner of the Fisher Nuts® brand, made the decision several years ago to consolidate our corporate headquarters and Chicago area manufacturing facilities into one location. Elgin has proven to be a great choice for JBSS. Our 1.1-million-square foot Elgin facility serves us well, with visibility along major roads and close proximity to the highway. The new location is perfect for the long term needs of our company. The low tax base and access to a large employment pool are great incentives for any company looking to locate close to a major U.S. city. - Jeffrey Sanfilippo, Chief Executive Officer, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc

“Morgan Harbour does work in most of the suburbs and the City of Chicago and the City of Elgin has been a great municipality for us to work in. Everyone we interact with from top to bottom has always been extremely cooperative and accommodating. In order for a construction project to be successful, you need everyone involved working together towards the same goal. To have the municipality participate in that mentality like Elign has is not only refreshing but also instrumental in the project's success”
