A prosperous retail economy is vital to the area and the McHenry County EDC works in tandem with area chambers. Chambers operate on a municipal level but often seek guidance, networking and ultimately growth opportunities by their affiliation with McHenry County EDC.
The McHenry County Convention & Visitor’s Bureau (MCCVB) was established in 2005 under the leadership of the McHenry County EDC. Today a successful collaboration of county, municipal and private sectors enjoy the benefits of a growing tourism economy.
While the McHenry County EDC is a regional Economic Development entity, we assist municipal EDC's in their efforts to encourage, support and positively affect their communities.

Metro Economic Growth Alliance of Chicago. Recognizing the mutual benefits of combining our very different assets, the economic development practitioners of the ten Illinois Counties and principal City of the Chicago metropolitan region have come together to collaborate for greater regional prosperity. MEGA Chicago was formed to promote job-creating investment, a business friendly environment, and greater national and international awareness of the mighty economic engine that straddles and connects North America’s Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Founding members of MEGA Chicago have direct links and ties to business clients and have been given the responsibility to represent the economic interests of individual counties as well as the City of Chicago. By joining forces through a strategic alliance, we speak for the region in a way no one else can.
McHenry County Convention & Visitors Bureau. The McHenry County Convention & Visitors Bureau was incorporated in 2005 as a 501(c)(6) non profit corporation in the State of Illinois with the mission to create economic growth for and to develop and promote McHenry County by effectively marketing the region as a preferred convention and visitors destination as well as enhancing the visitor's experience.
