Mount Prospect Community Info Mount Prospect, IL, Website
Mount Prospect, Illinois. Established as a farming community soon after The
Great Chicago Fire and incorporated in 1917, Mount Prospect is currently home
to over 56,265 residents as well as several major corporations including Albany
Molecular, Braun Manufacturing, Hyundai, Nutrasweet, Sayers Computing and United
Stationers.
Mount Prospect has matured into a dynamic community of eye pleasing neighborhoods,
economically stable retail centers, and architecturally pleasing light industrial/office
complexes.
Citizen participation in local government is actively encouraged. Several
of the local commissions are made up of volunteers from the business and residential
communities. The business community regularly interacts with the Village through
the Chamber of Commerce. The Village's award winning government access cable
channel televises meetings of the Village Board and Planning and Zoning Commission,
providing the community with a unique version of open access to its government.
