Northeastern Illinois was awarded the ‘Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership’ (IMCP) designation in June, 2014 by the U.S. Department of Commerce. This program is designed to accelerate the resurgence of manufacturing in communities nationwide by supporting the development of long-term economic development strategies that help communities attract and expand private investment in the manufacturing sector and increase international trade and exports. Out of this effort, the Chicago Metro Metal Consortium (CMMC) was formed as a group of more than 45 organizations across the region supporting this work. CMMC has set forth six strategies for growing the region's metal manufacturing sector: workforce and training, supplier network, research and innovation, infrastructure and site development, trade and international investment, and operational improvement and capital access.
