About McHenry County

IT Services for McHenry County Businesses

McHenry County sits at the center of the Chicago-Milwaukee-Rockford business triangle, combining the workforce and infrastructure benefits of greater Chicagoland with abundant open land and move-in ready business parks. The county has added nearly 200 new businesses since 2021—faster growth than Lake, Cook, and DuPage counties. Manufacturing employs over 15% of the McHenry County workforce, anchored by companies like Northwestern Medicine (5,000+ employees), Snap-on Tools, Stryker medical devices, and Medela. The healthcare sector continues expanding to serve the growing population, while education remains a major employer through school districts and McHenry County College. The county earned both Site Readiness grants (Planning and Capital) in 2024—one of few Illinois counties to achieve this distinction. Combined with Enterprise Zone incentives and the new AIM (Advancing Innovative Manufacturing) tax credit, McHenry County is positioned for continued growth. Smith Computer Services supports this growth with IT services that help manufacturers modernize, healthcare organizations maintain compliance, and businesses of all sizes compete effectively.
