Board. It states that :
We will provide public services for the greater good and well being of

which we can live, work and play, all in a way which is cost effective,
yet responsive to our community needs. We will measure our success by
our reputation as a stable, prosperous community, which will fill our
present and future residents with pride.
This mission guides the Village in its delivery of services. The

An Environment for Business
Streamwood offers an attractive environment for development. Land is
available for development at competitive prices. Much of it is located
along highly visible emerging traffic corridors. Its proximity to
O'Hare Airport, Interstate 90 and the newly opened Elgin-O'Hare

through a highly professional and efficient development approvals
process. The Village is willing to offer creative incentive packages to

These translate into significant cost savings to businesses through
reduced insurance rates. Lake Michigan water and Metropolitan Water
Reclamation District waste water treatment are available to all
commercial, industrial and residential properties within the Village.
Community Development
Pro-business. Pro-development. Streamwood casts itself in the
non-traditional role of facilitator rather than simply a regulator.
It's an attitude that drives Streamwood's Community Development
Department. The Department manages all planning, zoning, building and
property maintenance functions for the community. Developers
continually commend the Community Development Department for its
streamlined approvals process.
Economic Development
Assisting business does not end with the development process. The

Moreover, the Village conducts an ongoing business retention program and
strives to be a partner with local businesses. Working as partners, the
Village seeks ways to keep businesses competitive. Tax incentives,
revised tax classifications or utilization of alternate revenue
strategies are just a few ways in which businesses can profit and
reinvest. The Village has worked with over twenty-five (25) local
industrial companies in obtaining Cook County 6B Tax Class Status
resulting in over $30 million worth of development for the Village.
