    Employer Training Investment Program (ETIP) and EDGE tax credits, supporting both new and expanding businesses. The nearby Grundy Livingston Kankakee Workforce Board connects employers with skilled labor and training opportunities, helping to ensure a steady pipeline of talent for logistics, manufacturing, and tech-driven operations.
