Workforce & Industrial Development

Located in Madison County, Rosewood Heights offers a strategic gateway to the greater St. Louis metropolitan area and the industrial corridor along the Mississippi River. With direct access to major highways such as I-255 and IL-111, the community is well-positioned for logistics, warehousing, and light manufacturing operations.

Industrial developers are taking note of Rosewood Heights’ available land parcels and proximity to regional distribution centers. The area benefits from ongoing infrastructure investments, including improvements to local roadways and utilities, which are designed to support new commercial and industrial growth.

Illinois’ robust business incentive programs, such as the EDGE tax credit and the Enterprise Zone benefits, are accessible to qualifying projects in Rosewood Heights. Local economic development agencies work closely with the state to streamline permitting and offer customized support for site selectors and expanding businesses.

Workforce development is another area of strength. Madison County Employment and Training provides tailored recruitment and training services, while regional partnerships with Lewis and Clark Community College ensure that employers have access to a pipeline of skilled workers in advanced manufacturing, logistics, and technical trades.
