Mayor’s Message

Message from
the Mayor

My term as your mayor continues to challenge and excite me. There is so much promise for my hometown of Des Plaines, and I am so proud to work on significant development and engagement initiatives to build our quality of life. Our collaboration with local businesses promises considerable progress in improving long-term economic growth, resilience, and vitality. We are so grateful for your partnership.

All around, you can see signs of a diverse, safe and vibrant community with a prosperous economy. We’ve dramatically decreased the municipal debt. We’ve made significant infrastructure investments. We’ve seen an increase in population (as of the 2020 census), indicating that people want to put down roots here.

We have so much happening to make our area attractive for individuals looking to invest the time and money needed to open or expand their businesses in our neighborhoods. The City team is focused on delivering high-quality, efficient, cost-effective services. We are working with our business owners and positioning them for success. We use tools like tax incentives and our business assistance grants to help you succeed. To learn more about the City’s grant program, visit desplaines.org or call the Community and Economic Development team at (847) 391-5306.

On behalf of the City Council, I want to thank our businesses and the Chamber for your investment in our community. With real vision, responsible leadership, and dedicated people, we continue making Des Plaines a fantastic place to live, work, and raise a family. I look forward to continued collaboration between our business community and the City Council as we move forward.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Andrew Goczkowski

Recognizing Amazing Corporate Cultures in Des Plaines

W hen 40 hours of each week are dedicated to work, the culture of the company you work for makes a big difference. Retention is key, and we spoke to four organizations who prioritize attracting and retaining employees.

Advocate Lutheran
General Hospital

1775 Dempster St., Park Ridge
(847) 723-2210

Healthcare organizations nationwide are facing workforce challenges, and as such, Advocate Lutheran General is focused on helping all people live well.

“We strive to be the best employer that wraps our arms around the whole person,” said Mike Nolan, Director of Human Resources. “We are committed to the wellbeing of our teammates, both personally and professionally, as we work to carry out our purpose of helping people live well.”

The organization has various wellbeing and workforce development programs for its teammates, such as Emerging Leader programs, Introduction to Leadership programs, incumbent worker training programs, Certified Medical Assistant programs and SPD to Sterile Technician programs. The investment in these programs, among others, allows teammates to receive targeted workforce and leadership development training that provides skill and growth development and sets up the organization for future success, even amid the labor shortages felt across the healthcare industry.

“These initiatives are just a few examples of how we are enhancing care delivery through workforce strategy, all while keeping our patients at the forefront,” said Dia Nichols, president of Advocate Lutheran General Hospital and the Central Chicagoland Patient Service Area. “Our keen focus on bolstering leadership and teammate engagement helps to position us as a leading employer in the Midwest and, in turn, a top health care destination for patients, families and community members.”

Advocate Health offers a competitive salary and benefits package that includes tuition reimbursement and student loan programs for eligible teammates. Having combined with Atrium Health, teammates also take pride in being a top five healthcare organization in America.

GHD

6300 N. River Rd., Suite 302, Rosemont
(773) 380-9933

GHD is a global network that spans five continents. Its employees are committed to addressing the world’s biggest challenges in sustainability, and GHD is committed to its employees.

As an employee-owned company, “we invest in the growth and development of our people as the next generation of owner leaders,” said Rebecca Banks, GHD Regional People Business Partner.

The organization celebrates employees’ tenure milestones, has social committees at each office, hosts a “GHD’s Got Talent” show and has a robust wellness reimbursement program.

“GHD will reimburse employees for health club memberships, organized sports leagues or races, bicycles, home gym equipment, fitness tracking devices, smoking cessation programs and weight loss programs,” Banks said.

GHD also supports employees wishing to grow their family. Through a partnership with Maven’s Grow-Your-Family program, users can access a digital health platform to book unlimited virtual appointments, covering preconception through children’s first birthdays. Plus, GHD offers reimbursements for eligible treatments and expenses.

Rivers Casino

3000 South River Rd
(847) 795-0777

A business dedicated to having fun is also eager for its employees to have fun. When it comes to retaining team members, however, Rivers Casino is all business.

Amidst a fast-paced, high-energy environment, full-time team members enjoy an expansive benefits package, 18 days of paid time off in their first year, tuition reimbursement, a scholarship program and a 401K plan.

“We have a wonderful 401K plan that’s company-matching, and you’re fully vested the first day you start contributing to that plan,” said Marne Deithorn, Vice President of Human Resources.

Another huge perk for team members is meals that only cost a dollar in the team dining room through payroll deduction!

In addition to helping serve the community through the Chamber of Commerce, Rivers Casino also make sure that its team members helped determine the business’s core fundamentals of fun, service, integrity and respect.

“Rivers Casino is a big family,” Deithorn said.

Wheels

666 Garland Place
(847) 699-7000

Wheels, a fleet management company, has been around for over 80 years and is in an exciting time of transformation, having just completed a merger with Donlen and LeasePlan USA.

“Wheels pioneered the [fleet management] industry and now builds on the shared history of all three legacy organizations to become an even stronger leader in the industry,” said Mary Formosa, Chief Human Resource Officer.

Wheels has the recognition to prove it, having been named one of Chicago’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® 13 years in a row and receiving the Des Plaines Chamber Community Enhancement Award this March.

Wheels has no shortage of benefits, including a comprehensive benefits package, an annual compensation review process, and a recently upgraded bonus program that includes all employees. Of course, the parties and events don’t hurt!

Among other things, Wheels provides ongoing employee and leadership training and participates in various community events – including a plastic bag drive, supporting United Way campaigns and local 5K races to support charitable initiatives.

Des Plaines: A City Poised for Progress

The City of Des Plaines and its business-and-investor community made a big splash in 2022 and have a surge of momentum already rolling into 2023. The City welcomed 81 new registered businesses in 2022, up from 51 in 2021, and experienced more than $100 million in permitted construction value for the sixth straight year. Highly visible sites that have long been vacant or under-utilized are being redeveloped. Just a few examples of those under construction are:

• Halston Market by M/I Homes, with its 125 townhomes at 1050 E. Oakton (former Grazie banquet site)

• The “Mannheim-Pratt” restaurant and retail complex, featuring an Outback Steakhouse, First Watch, and Five Guys Burgers and Fries -- all coming soon!

• Highlander Transportation at 580 South Wolf, the long-shuttered former Meyer Material concrete production site

• A modern industrial warehouse by developer Seefried at 190 E. Touhy.

The latter two projects are results of the City’s participation in the Cook County Class 6b industrial property tax incentive program, which reduces property taxes if property owners make substantial investments—these two projects alone amount to nearly $25 million in investment. 2023 will bring even more new business development based on planning approval and permits issued in 2022.

The re-opened, historic Des Plaines Theatre brought thousands of visitors to downtown Des Plaines over the past year, and the City Council took that as a sign to make its next strategic acquisition: the former Masonic Temple/Leela Arts center across the street. The Council’s vision is to build on the Theatre’s success and remodel the “Leela Building” for a mix of retail, restaurant, and entertainment users to complement a budding entertainment district. Across the tracks, nearly 100 new households have moved into residential units at 1425 Ellinwood (“The Welkin”), the mixed-use development that is remaking the block. Heading south down Lee to Oakton, you’ll see evidence of multiple businesses that received Business Assistance Program (BAP) grants from the City, such as the new Khan Brothers market in the end cap of Lee Commons Shopping Center at Lee & Algonquin, and a refurbished interior at Charcoal Delights, a staple, landmark business just west of the Oakton-Lee intersection.

In the 2023 budget, the City Council increased the BAP allocation from $250,000 to $350,000. This citywide program contains multiple grants that can, for example, help a new business build out its interior or help an existing business upgrade its building façade. If a business or property is looking to make an investment, or re-investment, but just needs a little help to get over the top, these grants may be a perfect fit. In Spring 2023, the Council and staff expect to revamp and simplify the application process and put these funds to even more widespread and effective use.

Outside businesses considering Des Plaines as a home, existing businesses that want to move or expand, or entrepreneurs who want to get started can contact the City’s Community & Economic Development Department, directed by John Carlisle, AICP, at (847) 391-5306 or jcarlisle@desplaines.org.

Des Plaines Chamber Foundation

T he Chamber of Commerce is committed to supporting the educational and professional development of its local community. In addition to a leadership workshop series, a business resource center and various educational programs, the foundation also hosts a Veterans Back to Work Boot Camp and offers three $2,000 student scholarships each year.

Nicholas Canete, Shaun Herholz and Katrina Miletic can all speak directly to the support the foundation provides to the local community, as they have firsthand experience with its programs. Canete and Herholz were both members of the Veterans Back to Work Boot Camp, and Miletic was a scholarship recipient in 2022.

Scholarship Program

Since 1985, the Chamber of Commerce Foundation has been providing tuition scholarships each year to three high school seniors whose parents are chamber member business employees. The scholarships are to the tune of $2,000, each to help with the cost of attending college, and an annual luncheon is held each May for the recipients.

Katrina Miletic, whose dad is a member of the chamber, attended Rolling Meadows High School and was one of the 2022 scholarship recipients. She just finished her first year at Purdue University and is majoring in Human Resource Development.

“I was thrilled to receive the scholarship! It definitely helped me afford the cost of living on campus and tuition,” Miletic said. “I’m very ambitious and wanted to take advantage of many opportunities. Receiving the scholarship helped me focus on academics and let me venture in extracurricular [activities].”

Applying for the scholarship was easy – a typical application process along with a few essay prompts – and Miletic would recommend any eligible high school senior to apply, as the benefits go beyond just financial assistance.

“[The scholarship] helped aid me in my education, but it was also great because at the award ceremony I was able to connect with different board members – many of whom are in HR,” Miletic said. “I was able to start networking early and get exposure to a great group of people.”

In addition to the scholarship, Miletic is interning at GHD, a global engineering environment company, this summer with Rebecca Banks, the Chamber Board’s president.

“I’m working to discover which HR branch I want to narrow in on, and the internship will give me more exposure to different areas,” Miletic said. “It’s unique because it’s a general internship under Rebecca Banks, and she’s letting me craft it on my own and explore which areas I’m interested in. I’ll be able to dip my toes into different projects and activities. I’m very people-oriented and right now I’m leaning towards organizational culture creation and talent acquisition.”

The Des Plaines Chamber of Commerce & Industry Veterans Back to Work Boot Camp

The transition from military to civilian life isn’t always a seamless one. However, the chamber, along with several local sponsors, are on a mission to change that. The chamber’s 10-week boot camp provides veterans with the tools to successfully transition into a meaningful career.

Nicholas Canete served in the Navy and was a member of the very first Veterans Back to Work Boot Camp.

“At the time, I was in my final semester of college and was uncertain about the road ahead,” Canete said. “The boot camp helped me garner a frame of reference for various industries, network with professionals in those industries and assisted me in leveraging my newfound network to obtain gainful employment.”

Shaun Herholz, who served in the Air Force and was part of the fall 2021 boot camp, enjoyed the same benefits.

“[The bootcamp] was a wonderful opportunity to sharpen my skills and transition to the next stage of my career,” Herholz said. “I cannot thank the Des Plaines Chamber enough for the opportunity.”

A team of passionate individuals make the boot camp possible, including a career package given to each veteran who completes the program. The package includes a laptop with Microsoft Office software, gift cards to local establishments, networking opportunities and more.

“Andrea Biwer and her team of volunteers worked tirelessly to host this program each fall, thoughtfully crafting the content so that it reflects the most relevant information in today’s ever-changing career market,” Canete said. “Their work literally changes lives.”

Canete now is a Territory Sales Representative for Herc Rentals, and Herholz is a National Projects-Corporate Manager for ALDI USA, in addition to his ongoing reserve commitment.

T here has never been a better time to work or live in Des Plaines! Just ask Sheena Gutierrez, a Realtor for Keller Williams Realty – Bella Homes Team, who works in Des Plaines and has lived here most of her life.

“People want to move to Des Plaines for the culture, community and support. There’s a new generation coming in, and we find a lot of people being drawn to our park district and schools,” Gutierrez said. “Our families and neighbors are one of a kind, and our local businesses are different than in other neighborhoods. Living in Des Plaines just feels like home.”

There’s no shortage of things to brag about, including the library, park district, a new apartment complex and a church-turned-restaurant!

Des Plaines Public Library

In addition to an outstanding dance program, pickleball and basketball courts, the park district has aquatic facilities for the whole family. There’s a state-of-the-art indoor pool, a large-scale water park at Mystic Waters and an outdoor pool opening this summer at Arndt Park.

Plus, the park district is great for golf lovers.

“We have a top driving range in the country at the Golf Center of Des Plaines,” said Don Miletic, the park district’s executive director. “It has 80 hit stations and is heated during the winter and open year-round.”

The park district also has just under 400 acres of fields and open spaces available for its programs, facilities and recreational use.

Foxtail on the Lake

1177 Howard Ave.
(224) 938-9479

If you love unique dining experiences, you’ll soon be able to try a former church turned restaurant! Foxtail on the Lake, set to open this summer, is located in the former Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.

Sitting next to Lake Opeka and equipped with a 5,000-square-foot outdoor dining area, the restaurant and bar already promises breathtaking views and delectable food.

“I have lived in Des Plaines my whole life and enjoy the diversity and welcoming spirit of our community, which makes it a great area to invest in as a business,” said Managing Partner David Villegas.

American cuisine and dishes with Mediterranean and Asian influences, which represent the diversity of Des Plaines, will be on the menu. The restaurant will also occasionally offer live music.

Woven into all Des Plaines has to offer is its Chamber of Commerce. Michael “Skip” Felish, Vice President of Mortage Lending - Guaranteed Rate, experienced its benefits firsthand after he and his wife moved here.

“I absolutely love the Des Plaines community. It gives me great pleasure and joy to grow my business in my hometown,” Felish said. “It was out of my comfort zone to join the chamber, but I met them and it was such a fantastic organization. It was the best decision for me personally and professionally as I help my clients achieve their goal of home ownership. I can be out there and be active in the community. I’m so grateful to have joined the chamber.”
