The goal of the Hanover Park Business CONECT (Committee on Networking, Education, and Community Teamwork), a division of the Community Development Department, is to encourage economic growth by attracting new businesses and developments to the Village, as well as retaining and expanding existing businesses and developments.  These economic development efforts will lead to the establishment of a solid, diversified tax base, growing property values,  decreased tax rates, and an enhanced community image.  Vital steps to achieving this goal include a thorough evaluation of new projects and careful long-range planning.

Those interested in attending Hanover Park Business CONECT meetings are always welcome.  Check the Calendar in the Community section of our website for meeting dates.

In 2006 the Village saw significant economic development including the following major development projects:

• Fire Station #1, Barrington Road

• Schaumburg Township Branch Library, Irving Park Road

• L.A. Fitness, Irving Park Road

• Popeye's, Irving Park Road
