ALL IN. Stephenson County | 2022

Despite the challenges that came with 2021, Freeport has seen a boom in business and entrepreneurship. Our community is a key destination in business investment, and I’m excited to see this community forge ahead.

Meanwhile, arts and cultural events are taking Freeport by storm. Whether it’s the new Arts Plaza, Music on Chicago, or Art in the Park, Freeport is seeing an artistic revitalization, and I eagerly invite you to join in on the fun.

For those of you who haven’t been, Freeport offers its citizens a very diverse lifestyle, incorporating the best of the old and new, the large and small. Treelined boulevards boast gracious 100+ year-old homes, while new subdivisions offer the latest in design and construction. Our citizens are a diverse lot, providing a cultural mix sometimes lacking in mid-size communities.

And our location– in the middle of a rural America yet close to several of the Midwest’s most progressive big cities–provides our residents with a myriad of choices to enhance their professional and personal lives.

Forging collaboration with the Greater Freeport Partnership means more opportunities for Freeport residents and visitors alike to enjoy all our community has to offer. Freeport is a great place to live, work, and play.

-Jodi Miller, Mayor of Freeport

Rawleigh, a wellknown Freeport industrialist who traveled the world in connection with his business and personally collected art.

Winneshiek Playhouse is another cultural hot spot in Stephenson County.

As the oldest, continuously running amateur theater in Illinois, it produces multiple shows a year. The Children’s Hands-On Museum found a permanent home in the Lincoln Mall and offers programming and regular hours for families to engage in art, sensory development, and productive play.

COME HOME

There is no place like home!

To hundreds of graduates in Stephenson County each May, the idea of success is moving away from home to start life on their own. Visions of educational and career aspirations can take you to the far-reaching corners of the country! While all of these experiences are amazing and gratifying, some may reach a point in life when home starts to sound appealing.

For those who have contemplated a move back home, this may be an ideal time to take a closer look at all that has been happening while you’ve been away.

Stephenson County is growing, and changing, and is calling its former residents back home to participate in this transformation.

Whether you have a desire to be close to family, start your own business or a more affordable cost of living, the communities of Stephenson County can offer you the life you remember as a child with some recent improvements.

Most of us remember our youth in our hometowns as quaint, humble, and more simplistic. And while many of those characteristics are quintessential to other similar Midwestern towns, Stephenson County is updating its lifestyle offerings in ways that may appeal to you.

Downtowns are being re-inhabited by local service and retail businesses with unique and creative niches.

Dining and social establishments now resonate with tastes in a variety of flavors and ethnicities. Adding to the culture and diversity, Freeport is now constructing an Arts Plaza and recently open the Children’s HandsOn Museum for additional family activities.

One of the best parts of being in your hometown is being with other members of the community.

Stephenson County offers plenty of opportunities to gather with those you know and meet new friends with dozens of public events throughout the year including Music on Chicago, Brewfest, Lena Fall Fest, Cruise Night and many others.

Affecting change in areas you are passionate about can be difficult when the population you are influencing is much larger. In Stephenson County, your time and talent will be a welcome value-add to the community!

Passionate about the environment or childhood literacy? With non-profits in education, social service, senior services, environmental advocacy and more there is no shortage of opportunities to lend a hand, and positively impact the future of the place you’ve chosen to call home.

41

Moving home is an attractive option when you want a support system to help with a growing family and to share life’s most precious moments. Whether you are moving home to be close to family or looking to build relationships with a community who becomes family, you deserve the feeling of connection to the place you call home. You’ll have more time with the ones you love when you aren’t logging hours behind-the-wheel commuting to and from work every week. Driving in and around Stephenson County has rarely seen a traffic jam that delays you hours from coming home and offers better views, too.

Affordability generates a different type of freedom—financial freedom. One’s money goes further in smaller cities which can translate into opportunities to save for college, buy a house with one more bedroom, make retirement plans, start a business, enroll children in activities or just live more comfortably.

Come home to Freeport and Stephenson County where you can live the life you’ve dreamed!
