Village of Carol Stream
The Village of Carol Stream was incorporated by its founder and original developer, Mr. Jay Stream, in 1959. Jay Stream envisioned Carol Stream to be a community comprised of residential homes and light industrial business.
The Village has continued to grow and prosper each year by following a progressive land use development plan.
Today, the Village is home to more than 1,000 businesses and 42,000 residents. The Village’s strong industrial and commercial base has allowed it to offer its residents a full array of municipal services without levying a local property tax. Carol Stream offers residents modern schools, a large modern park system, a full-service library, a progressive fire protection district and a diversity of churches.
In 1993, Carol Stream was one of five Illinois communities chosen to participate in a partnership with the State of Illinois in the Community Based Industrial Retention Program. The Village recognizes the importance of actively strengthening its businesses and industries in support of their role as the primary economic foundation of the community. Our community is fortunate to have long-standing relationships with its businesses and industries that have helped create employment opportunities and foster a thriving local economy.
Carol Stream has approximately 2 million square feet of developed commercial space. Vacant land is available for commercial and industrial development with approved uses that include assembly, manufacturing and distribution warehousing. The Village has computerized search capability to match vacant business and industrial space with prospective corporations looking to relocate or expand their operations.
