Recognized as the largest center of economic development in the State of Illinois (outside the City of Chicago), without question, Schaumburg is the "place for business." More than 12.1 million sq feet of office space accommodating a number of corporate headquarters. Schaumburg also contains 13,250,000 sq ft of industrial space, occupying over 1,600 acres of land. So what does that mean for you? Lower taxes from the large tax base (Woodfield Mall also). Sales tax revenue helps to fund all of the village's operating departments and funds services such as snow plowing, police and fire response.
