Lake County Ranks in Top 10 Nationally for Economic Development

Jul 7, 2025 | News, Press Release

Lake County has been named one of the top 10 counties in the nation to do business in by Site Selection Magazine, recognizing the County’s ongoing efforts to foster a business-friendly environment while enhancing the quality of life for residents. The magazine publishes its “America’s Best Counties” report annually, ranking counties based on their performance in attracting corporate facility projects, capital investment and jobs created.

They cited Lake County’s aggressive investment, job creation, rapid industry expansion, and valuable proximity to the City of Chicago, already named the top U.S. metro for corporate relocation, for this recognition. This success is a reflection of Lake County’s strong leadership, and the strategic business retention and attraction efforts led by the county’s economic development corporation, Lake County Partners.
