Chamber Welcome
Partners in Progress with local communities, area legislators and business leaders for more than 40 years!
Dear Residents:
In your hands is the Chamber 2010 commemorative edition of the Barrington Regional Magazine. Read through the pages of this premier publication to find stories showcasing our dynamic business environment. We are unique. Discover why the Barrington region is a wonderful place to live, work and do business!
Live. Whether you visit for days, or have lived in our community for years, friendly neighbors, accommodating businesses and green spaces contribute to the charmed essence of our villages, including Barrington, Barrington Hills, Deer Park, Inverness, Lake Barrington, South Barrington, North Barrington and Tower Lakes.
Inside, read the first-person accounts of three “Barringtonians” who chose to “Come Back Home Again,” about a nature art connoisseur and the plans for supporting emerging artists at the high school. Learn about a variety of dining and catering venues. Find out what’s happening, when and where on the community calendar developed by a trio of determined volunteers. Explore year-round family recreational activities just steps from your home…
Work. Businesses located in historic homes and a shopping district rich in history dating back to the early 1800s is the heart of Barrington; yet the region offers everything from large department stores to small specialty shops to top-quality professional services. Learn how the Metra rail service is used by businesses to attract and retain qualified and diverse workers, and how residents engage in cultural and entertainment opportunities along the train line.
Doing Business. The Chamber helps accelerate business growth in the region. We’re preparing for the next wave of economic progress. We recognize that our communities will need to rely primarily on existing businesses to fuel the growth. We are excited by the opening of many new businesses in our region in 2009; some chose to occupy a storefront, lease space in one of our many corporate office complexes or become a home-based business. We enjoy the longevity of numerous business owners celebrating more than 40 years in business. BACC is committed to being a driving force for business. We’re reaching out to other partners in our region and state to develop business innovation and increase economic opportunities.
Read about local women entrepreneurs who find a way to have it all! Why location is important to family-owned businesses. Follow the story of two charter members who make their business a way of life for themselves and the communities in which they serve.
