Proud of its status as one of the largest employment centers in Chicago Southland, the city of Harvey has benefited from an ideal location and excellent transportation assets. While industry has long been the anchor of the local economy, the city is often called the "Hub of the South Suburbs." Healthcare services and retail activity are also significant. In fact, Ingalls Memorial Hospital is the largest employer. The city also attracts national and regional attention as the home of the Chicago South Expo Center, a key business and community asset that hosts a variety of events, conventions, trade shows, competitive sports, and other entertainment events. To ensure its future, the city has established an enterprise zone with the South Suburban Business Campus as its core. Harvey residents enjoy quick access to such key highways as Interstates 80 and 294 and State Routes 1 and 83 that border the city. Two Metra rail stations and Pace buses provide mass-transit alternatives for commuters.
