Vibrant Dolton, IL

One of the most important landmarks in Dolton is the local Dolton Expo Center, the largest exhibit and meeting complex south of Chicago's own McCormick Place. The village prides itself in offering a comfortable and friendly place to live as well as a vibrant place to do business. This Illinois certified city grew from industrial roots that once included lumberyards, brickyards, and railroads. Rail transportation is still a vital part of the community's assets, enhancing its strategic location off Interstate 94 in close proximity to Interstate 80. Modern Dolton serves as a thriving and vibrant commercial center that boasts an outstanding economic development program. The success of this initiative is enhanced by the inclusion of this region in the Calumet Enterprise Zone. The community welcomes a steady stream of visitors through the activities and events that are hosted by the Expo Center, adding to local revenues. Dolton is also home to The Dorchester, a quality housing development for seniors that excels in first-rate amenities including a 500-seat meeting hall. Another point of pride within the community is the beautiful landmark of the Dolton Waterfall on the village hall campus, a cascading wonder that provides an enchanting backdrop for photos and summer concerts.
