Huntley’s New Growth

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Huntley is one of the most rapidly growing cities in the Chicago area. Since 2000, the city’s population has grown more than 350%. Although the population is primarily white, there are many other races. There is a growing African-American, Hispanic and Asian population.

Many economic studies reveal that the more diverse a population, the better it fares economically. New races bring in new demands and supply for those demands. This results in many new businesses, which stimulate the economy.

Because Huntley is close to Chicago they get a lot of immigrant overflow from there as well. All the new growth has resulted not only in many new businesses but also in many new housing developments. Since the year 2003 the city has given out more than 5,000 new building permits. The city’s population is expected to triple in the next ten to fifteen years.
