About Far South
The South Chicago retail area is bifurcated with forest preserves and bucolic vistas to the south and a bustling suburban enclave to the north. Interstates 57 and 80/94 meet in the northwest corner and go their respective southern and eastern ways from there. Yet the real draw for retail here is the extension of Western Avenue, the city of Chicago’s longest street, spanning over 27 miles from Evanston, Illinois, to Crete, Illinois. Students (and staff) are drawn to the Prairie State Junior College (500 employees), Chicago Heights, to start their educational journeys and then can commute south to Governor’s State University (1,000 employees), University Park, to finish their undergraduate studies.
Employment sectors run the gamut in South Chicago, but manufacturers and distributors appear to dominate the landscape. University Park’s large manufacturers require a substantial workforce to run their facilities and warehouses, like paper manufacturer Georgia Pacific (6,700 employees), jellies and spreads manufacturer JM Smuckers (5,500 employees), and Solo Cup manufacturer Dart Container (3,500 employees). Logistics companies are drawn here not only for the highways but for easy access to the Illinois Central Railroad Company’s (500 employees) intermodal terminal at the region’s northern border in Homewood.
