Spec Schmeck


During Q4 of 2018, the RAEDC launched a marketing campaign in the Chicago Suburbs focusing on why the Rockford Region is Your Opportunity Region. Spec schmeck messages focus on the benefits for both businesses and their employees.

The first six-months of 2018 the Rockford Region outpaced the Chicagoland area in build to suit construction by three-fold, adding 1,200,000 square feet of new space to the region. Our region delivers custom built facilities that meet the needs of the company better than any spec building could. With our speed to market approvals buildings can start producing income much quicker than in the suburbs.

Long commutes are eliminated and houses are much more affordable. The Rockford Region’s arms are open to welcome businesses and employees to a high-quality of life at an affordable cost.
