About Franklin Park

Franklin Park is a Cook County village near O'Hare Airport, with a strong industrial and transportation profile. Among its major employers is Sloan Valve Company, known for the flushometer, and the village was also home to Midway Manufacturing before that company relocated in 1991. Franklin Park has the feel of a working inner suburb: factories, rail lines, warehouses, modest neighborhoods, and quick access to Chicago's airport and highway network. Its identity is practical, blue-collar, and deeply tied to logistics.
