ROCHELLE — The Rochelle Chamber of Commerce will continue its Industrial Task Force in 2026 with four quarterly, invite only meetings aimed at providing Rochelle based industry leaders a forum to share concerns, ask questions and stay informed on city services and economic development efforts. The task force brings together representatives from local industries along with city leadership and partners including utilities, rail, airport, the Lee Ogle Enterprise Zone, Kishwaukee College and economic development officials, with attendance typically ranging from 10 to 25 participants and limited to industries located within the city. Two breakfast meetings will be held at The 302 on Cherry Avenue, and two lunch meetings later in the year will take place at the Rochelle Rec Center, with the first meeting scheduled for tomorrow morning.
“We are really proud of our industry base in Rochelle and want to make sure they feel connected, supported, and heard,” said Rochelle Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tricia Herrera. “We want to give our industries a forum for the ups and the downs, help them stay in the loop on what the city and its partners are doing, and give them a place to ask questions and raise concerns.”
