INTRODUCTION
The Champaign County Top Employers Directory is one of the tools utilized by the
Champaign County Economic Development Corporation to market our community to
businesses considering relocation or expansion of their operations. In addition, the directory
is an excellent resource for companies already doing business in Champaign County.
Eligibility for listing in the Top Employers Directory is reserved for companies with 50 or
more employees working within Champaign County. In previous years, the directory listed
only those companies located in the cities of Champaign and Urbana. The directory now
includes all companies within the boundaries of Champaign County.
The information contained in this document has been obtained from sources that we
believe to be reliable, but its accuracy is not guaranteed. Listing in the directory is voluntary.
Any exclusions are unintentional or at the request of the company. For those companies
which did not respond to our request for information, we have listed the latest information
available to us.
The Champaign County Economic Development Corporation is willing to consider
additions to the directory if your company employs fifty (50) or more people and is located in
Champaign County. An application form is located at the back of this publication for your
convenience.
We at the EDC are always open to suggestions on how we can improve and expand
our publications to best serve our marketing efforts of Champaign County. If you would like
to provide input, please write to us at the address on the back cover of the directory.
To those companies who responded to our request for information, we thank you for
your cooperation, time and consideration. Without your assistance, compiling this valuable
resource could not be possible.
All expressions of this publication are subject to change without notice.
