The city of Chicago and the state of Illinois have teamed up in recent years to attract new business to the state, and especially to the Chicago metropolitan region. Mayor Daley and Governor Ryan formed a strong partnership that aggressively sought out new economic development opportunities. We have continued that productive partnership with Governor Blagojevich.
While the article uses Site Selection magazine as a source, it failed to note that the publication ranked Illinois and the Chicago metro region as the number one places in the country for corporate relocation and expansion–two years in a row. Total investment in Chicago-area projects last year alone was more than $13 billion ($8 billion more than New York City), according to the magazine.
