Shop Streamwood!
According to research, when consumers shop locally, $73 of every $100 spent stays in the community. By contrast, only $43 of every $100 spent at a non-local business is returned to the community. Local businesses tend to shop locally, too. They use the goods and services of local businesses, keeping revenue in our community and strengthening our business sector. Visit www.streamwood.org and click on our Shop Streamwood! logo for a complete directory of local businesses. Make your tax dollars work for you!
For all emergencies, or for any police actions, please dial 9-1-1. For more information, on the services and departments of the Village, please visit our website at www.streamwood.org.

Spotlight on Manufacturing
The Community and Economic Development Commission (CEDC) will be hosting a Manufacturing Summit on May 1 to help bridge the gap between available manufacturing jobs, and needed employee skills. Manufacturing is on the rise. Getting key positions filled is a struggle for many companies because of an aging workforce and disinterest in manufacturing careers and skills. Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Streamwood (TSS-Streamwood) is one company facing this challenge. TSS-Streamwood fabricates unique components for hydraulic and structural applications. They addressed the skilled labor shortage by creating their own CNC Apprenticeship program. TSS Human Resources Manager Ricardo Acevedo said, It was better to build our own workforce instead of relying on the market. TSS-Streamwood invested more than 2,200 hours in training last year. Mr. Acevedo noted that prior to getting involved with their program, many of these young workers didnt even think about manufacturing as a career. They didnt realize that the new manufacturing jobs require key skills and sophisticated technology, and with that comes improved pay. The CEDC is hoping to help businesses such as TSS-Streamwood work with Elgin Community College and School District U-46 to educate workers about the opportunities in manufacturing, and provide good-paying jobs in our region.
