SEED delivers for South Elgin. Along the river of opportunity, South Elgin Economic Development works closely with the Village of South Elgin to promote economic development. Founded in 1998 and incorporated in 2000, SEED is funded in part by the Village.

Recent accomplishments include:

• SEED facilitated Haumiller Engineering moving its operation from Elgin to South Elgin 
• SEED helped install three gateway signs welcoming people into the Village
• SEED helped procure sale of a new business in Bowes Road Industrial Park (lot number five)

The result is an alliance which has made it possible for South Elgin to successfully attract desirable new businesses to the community, adding to the economic vitality of the area and enhancing the quality of life for residents. The effort is a prime example of how government, business and community can work together productively to promote and realize balanced, beneficial growth.
