The Community and Economic Development
Department of Calumet City is responsible for administering
a variety of economic development programs, such as Community
Development Block Grants, the City's State-certified Enterprise
Zone, tax increment financing, T.I.F. District redevelopment,
and neighborhood commercial district revitalization.
The Department works closely with Federal, State and local
government divisions to develop and implement effective
programs for local businesses and distressed neighborhoods.
The City of Calumet City has taken a very assertive approach
in redefining the business community by establishment
and implementation of various economic tools including
Tax Increment Financing, Enterprise Zone, Cook County
Tax Incentives and much more due to Home Rule Status.
Because of this effort, business, residential, park and
school districts have all experienced an unprecedented
growth and improvement period.
Our business community serves not only those who reside
in Calumet City, but also hundreds of thousands who reside
in the 15 mile radius that make Calumet City shopping
districts their destination. In addition Calumet City
has a rich cultural history of which we are proud. The
successful implementation of community, beautification
and city marketing programs are a testament that the administrationšs
vision is becoming a reality!

The City of Calumet City is located just south of the
City of Chicago and borders Northwest Indiana. We have
excellent highway access to I-94/ I-80 and minutes from
Interstates 294, I-57 and I-55. These give ready access
to Chicago and Chicago's northwest and western suburbs,
along with central Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan.
Additionally, rail and waterway accessibility is predominant
in our industrial business districts.
