Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, alongside representatives from Freedman Seating Company and the Illinois DCEO, announced a $4 million investment aimed at enhancing the company's manufacturing facility in Chicago, which will create 50 new jobs while maintaining 676 existing positions. This investment is supported by the EDGE program designed to improve conditions for businesses. Freedman Seating has evolved from producing horse-drawn carriage seats to becoming a leading manufacturer of specialty seating. Governor Pritzker underscored Illinois' commitment to supporting businesses that contribute to community growth and economic development.
"Through the competitive incentive programs, workforce development, and other business development efforts, our state is supporting businesses that create jobs and invest back into their communities."
"Programs like EDGE don't give businesses a handout - they help level the playing field. They allow companies like ours to invest, grow, and compete while creating more opportunities where they are needed most."
