OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
OF DOING BUSINESS IN ILLINOIS
A Survey of Illinois Commercial and Industrial
Real Estate Agents and Brokers

released April 14, 2009

Illinois’ commercial and industrial real estate professionals know exactly why Illinois is losing business to neighboring states and beyond – too many state and local taxes, a perception that Illinois is anti-business and the lack of available incentives.

The Illinois Chamber of Commerce and its Economic Development Council retained the University of Illinois at Springfield’s Survey Research Office to reach out and ask the people in the trenches – industrial and commercial real estate agents throughout the state – why Illinois wins or loses these battles.

Co-sponsors of the survey were the Illinois Development Council; Metro Economic Growth Alliance of Chicago; Illinois Association of Realtors; and the Illinois Chamber’s Economic Development Council.
