Business
The City of Darien is a predominantly residential community with a well-planned mix of commercial and office areas. While relatively close to Chicago (17 miles to the Loop), it offers an upscale, suburban environment with a variety of living, working, shopping and entertainment opportunities.
While the youngest community in DuPage County (incorporated in 1969), Darien includes mature subdivisions and newer developments, providing a broad range of housing options. In addition, the City offers commercial and office development opportunities along the Stevenson Expressway (I-55) and several County highways. The City’s development is guided by sound planning principals and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. Darien has one of the lowest crime rates in DuPage County; the lowest fire rating class in the State; Darien is committed to maintaining its public infrastructure; public facilities include the Darien Police Station, Darien Community Center, Darien Sportsplex (with three National Hockey League sized ice surfaces and an indoor full sized field house), Indian Prairie Public Library, Darien-Woodridge Fire District Headquarters and Tri-State Fire Station.
Superb Business Location
Darien is conveniently located in Chicago’s western suburbs. Only a 30 minute drive from Chicago, I-55 and I-355 allow easy access too many of the areas attractions. Darien is also located between two international airports, O’Hare and Midway, and Metra Chicagoland, the commuter rail service, is near Darien.
Nearby suburban attractions include Oak Brook, Yorktown, Fox Valley and the Promenade Malls, Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve, and a wide variety of restaurants and shops. Other nearby attractions include the Brookfield Zoo and Morton Arboretum.
Solid Businesses
Darien is home to approximately 480 businesses who provide quality products and services in addition to their exceptional customer service. These businesses range from corporations such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Jewel and McDonalds, to small family businesses and office headquarters such as Wight & Company and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, offering jobs to many residents. These businesses offer support and convenience for our residents and add revenues to the city.
A strong Chamber of Commerce helps our businesses with networking, education and other opportunities for business venues.
Economic Incentives
The City of Darien can offer a number of attractive incentives that help create healthy businesses. Darien is a home rule unit of government and has a great deal of flexibility in creating economic development financial incentives. New, as well as established businesses, reap the benefits of the City's economic development program. Darien can offer sales tax abatements, low cost financing programs, business/zoning variances, and other economic development incentives. Darien has encouraged development and expansion of the business community and is committed to a vibrant economic environment that fosters business growth.
