From easy access to major highways, airports and a commuter train line to a family-focused quality of life in a beautiful setting, few communities can match the economic development advantages that are found in Lisle.

That’s why companies that cater to international, national and regional customers are flocking to the business-friendly village.

In 2017 alone, Lisle attracted:

• The headquarters for the largest health system in Illinois.
• A growing med-tech company.
• A noted engineering services firm.
• A higher education institution with hundreds of students.

More than 1,000 jobs came to Lisle through those moves alone, proving once again that business owners understand the advantages of a village that is ready to work with businesses.

“We’re providing a high quality of life for residents and a great environment and setting for businesses,” said Lisle Village Manager Eric Ertmoed. “Our strategic location is a huge draw for companies looking to relocate and expand.”

New businesses

In 2017, the largest Chicago suburban office lease in more than a year took place when AMITA Health announced in August it would move to a 225,000-square-foot location on the Navistar campus in Lisle.

In February 2018, AMITA Health began Phase I of moving its system office to campus. Phase II will be completed in July, bringing nearly
900 support and system associates to the village. AMITA Health
(www.AMITAhealth.org) is a joint operating company formed by Adventist Health System in Altamonte Springs, Florida, and St. Louis-based Ascension.

With the addition of Presence Health, AMITA Health is now the largest health system in Illinois, comprising 19 hospitals and more than 230 sites of care. The newly combined health system has 900 providers in its medical groups, more than 26,000 associates and 7,000 physician partners and now serves over 4.3 million residents in the greater Chicago area.

An added benefit for 2018 and beyond is that the village kept its property tax rate flat for the next year.

“Holding the property tax flat eases the operating cost burden on Lisle businesses,” Ertmoed said. “Village leaders take the stewardship of public monies seriously, and are glad to support the Lisle community by ensuring that every tax dollar is used wisely.”

Location advantages

Lisle is called “The Arboretum Village” because of the 1,700-acre nationally renowned Morton Arboretum and its plethora of mature trees, flowers and scenic prairie vistas. There are three major areas of most interest to business owners – the downtown, I-88 Corridor and Ogden Avenue.

Downtown Lisle made an award-winning transformation to become a pedestrian-friendly, lively retail and restaurant district that represents the heart of the community. It includes a prairie-style streetscape inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright near shops and boutiques, one-of-a-kind restaurants and comfortable seating areas in front of the fountain at the entrance to The Garden Walk. Lisle is expected to approve its newest Downtown Master Plan this summer.

Along the I-88 Corridor there are corporations of national prominence such as Navistar International and its 88-acre corporate headquarters, SunCoke Energy, Leeco Steel and Smithfield Foods Packaged Meats. Others including the world headquarters of Molex, LLC, are located in business and shopping districts or within office parks interspersed within the community.

One of the most notable businesses developments in Lisle is the Science of Spirituality Meditation Center, which will open its national headquarters in the summer of 2018 on 8 acres on Warrenville Road. The global, multi-faith organization plans to create a 75,000-square-foot campus.

People visit the Center from around the world, which helps the local economy, said the Center’s Jonathan Kruger.

“Every year when people travel to Lisle from all parts of the world, they stay at the Sheraton, Hyatt and Hilton Lisle hotels, booking thousands of room nights,” Kruger said. “The family community of Lisle has been the perfect place for the meditation center as people deepen their commitment to ethical living as the foundation for progress in meditation.”

An active 300-member Chamber of Commerce supports this diverse business base, offering ongoing support, educational and networking opportunities.

An abundance of technical and professional training also is available through local higher educational institutions.

Benedictine University and National-Louis University offer programs that lay the foundation for an educated and 21st century-ready workforce. More than 79 percent of Lisle residents are college educated and have advanced degrees, and some 77 percent are employed in professional, sales, management and financial occupations.

Also, 2018 marks the fifth year in Lisle for Universal Technical Institute, which provides technical training for students seeking entry-level careers as technicians in the transportation industry. The Lisle campus is one of 12 around the country and includes three core programs and five specialties on a 187,000-square-foot campus.

All of this adds up to an ideal location for homeowners and business planners. Lisle is ideally situated just 25 miles west of Chicago, only about 35 minutes away from O’Hare and Midway airports and only a 30-minute commuter train ride to the city.

When you’re 25 years old, it’s tough to imagine saving for retirement. It’s tempting to say, “Why worry? It’s a long way off!”

Then the years fly by and you’re in your mid-30s, married and own a house. In your 40s you might have kids and get caught up in their activities – and expenses – and/or take exotic vacations. Pretty soon you’re much closer to retirement and possibly the start of your kids’ college start date with not a lot to show for it.

The solution? Start saving and investing early and be consistent. And, don’t forget estate planning for the unexpected situations in life, said David Richter, chief investment officer and managing director at Arboretum Wealth & Trust Management in Lisle.

Here is a look at financial planning for different stages in life:

The 20s

At this stage, Richter said his advice hews closely to what parents likely would tell their kids: “Save your money.”

The most logical way is through a 401K or IRA. If your company has a 401K match, it’s a “free raise” for employees who contribute enough to earn the match, he said.

“When you take the money right out of the payroll somehow it seems less painful,” he said. “You need to get better savings habits and build that discipline. If you never had the money, you’re not going to miss it.”

Because of the longer time frame before retirement, people in their 20s can be much more aggressive with their investments.

“Let the market do its magic over time,” he said.

The 30s

During this time, people often get married, buy a house and possibly have kids, which can “put a damper on the ability to save.”

But, there’s likely another savings task to start – putting money away for college.

The ideal vehicle for college savings is a tax-deferred 529 plan. There are “tons out there” across the country, including Illinois-based ones that can provide a tax break for parents, Richter said.

The 40s

As retirement draws closer in the late 40s, you ought to think about making your stock portfolio less aggressive, he said. For example, move from small cap and emerging market funds to large cap stocks.

Also, be sure your life insurance is up-to-date and adequate to cover your family’s needs.

The 50s and beyond

Traditionally, people would try to save enough money to live comfortably into their 80s. However, as life expectancy continues to increase, planning to live into the 90s is more realistic.

How can you reach your financial goals for the long term? Create a plan and stick to it, even when the stock market is on a roller-coaster ride. The plan should have realistically set allocations with an appropriate amount of risk so that you won’t panic when the market goes down, Richter said.

“People who bailed out of the market in 2008 were hurt because they didn’t have the discipline to stick with what they were doing,” he said.

The importance of estate planning

When people hear about estate planning, “it sounds like something only for old people, but it really shouldn’t be,” Richter said.

It’s important to plan for unexpected events throughout your adult life, which is why estate planning ought to be part of financial planning conversations as early as the 20s.

“It’s something that applies to the whole range of your life,” Richter said.

For example, an estate plan allows you to spell out who will make financial decisions if you become incapacitated. It’s especially important if you have children and need to allocate funds for college and/or special medical needs.

If you have designated a family or friend as trustee, you need to realize they aren’t regulated or audited. Besides regulatory oversight, corporate trustees use their experience and expertise to ensure your best interests are at the center of every decision.

The Arboretum Village is truly a place for all seasons, with activities and events celebrating community, collegiality and drawing residents, business professionals and visitors throughout the year.

Relax and unwind as you stroll the fragrant Garden Walk to Downtown Lisle’s PrairieWalk Pond, a 4.5-acre sustainable natural park featuring lighted pathways, walking trails, native plants and flowers, a gazebo, preserved wetland and seating area. The Dragonfly Landing children’s play area boasts a 10-foot tall “flowering” spray mists, a shelter with a living roof that serves as a gathering space, a whimsical tree house, climbing frog and cattail swingers.

Enjoy year-round events and recreation at Morton Arboretum, open 365 days a year.

Explore 16 miles of hiking trails, or drive or bike through nine miles of roads. Guided walks or tours on an open air tram ride also are available.

There is plenty to do and see at Morton Arboretum. The little ones will be enthralled with the four-acre, interactive educational Children’s Garden, or the Maze Garden, consisting of a one-acre puzzle of hedges.

Take a break in the Visitor Center and learn from interactive displays, have a bite to eat in the Gingko Restaurant and shop for unique items in the Arboretum Store.
