Welcome to Des Plaines!

Ideally located just 17 miles northwest of the Chicago Loop, Des Plaines has a diversified, vibrant and growing business community. In addition to being the home to several Fortune 500 companies and international businesses, there is a comfortable blend of commercial, financial, industrial, professional, service-oriented and retail sectors. Des Plaines provides a demographic cross section of employee skill levels supporting high tech, industry, manufacturing and distribution concerns. The city is serviced by state and interstate highways, Metra rail line, PACE bus, and all forms of business, freight and passenger flights at nearby O’Hare International Airport.

WEBSITE

Our website has a whole new look and several new features. The “Hot Deals” feature gives Chamber members a chance to promote their business with special offers, discounts or coupons. The “Job Posting” feature allows any Chamber member to post current job openings on our site at no cost. Chamber members can add a brief (200 characters) statement to their listing as well as their hours of operation and directions to their business. Each listing can now include a link back to the members website. Members have the opportunity to enhance their website listing or place additional ads on the website.
