New website promotes St. Charles as a business destination

The City of St. Charles has launched the Think St. Charles website, an all-in-one resource for business owners looking to set up shop or expand their existing business in town.

The website, thinkstcharles.com, provides essential information regarding demographics, city services, business incentives and initiatives, and the business-community relationship in St. Charles. All the information is neatly organized in an attractive, visual and easy-to-read package, with links for business owners to find out more.

Video testimonials from business owners give a firsthand look at why they chose St. Charles, and what other owners can expect when doing business here. The videos cover topics such as working with city staff and leadership, how enthusiastically the community embraces the "Shop Local" mantra, area workforce and transportation availability, and the unique features that draw both residents and businesses to St. Charles.

"The City of St. Charles is committed to creating a welcoming environment for businesses," said Economic Development Division Manager Matthew O'Rourke. "We designed this site as a helpful, easy-to-use resource to showcase that St. Charles is a great place to live, work, and do business. We want businesses to choose St. Charles as their new home."
