ABOUT US
Greater NorthWest Chicago Development Corp is a 501()(3) nonprofit organization and a delegate agency of the City of Chicago’s Department of Housing 
and Community Development.  For 
almost 35 years it has carried out its mission of industrial retention within  a service area now spanning three major industrial corridors—NW Industrial, 
Grand-Armitage and Pulaski—and 
Tax Increment Financing districts.

Through visits, phone calls and email blasts GNCDC keep industrial company owners and decision-makers aware 
of grants, loans, tax incentives 
and rebate programs to defray 
the cost of doing business.  The 
agency also acts as a referral source
for many nonprofit or private business services—from export assistance 
to reliable employees—to help 
businesses grow and create jobs. 

Greater Northwest Chicago listens to what businesses have to say, and 
works at developing policies and 
programs to make it easier to do 
business and grow in Chicago.  

Its funding comes from the City of 
Chicago, the State of Illinois, 
philanthtropic organizations and membership dues. Approximately 
one third of its operating costs come 
from local industrial companies and financial institutions.
