The Arlington Economic Alliance, an economic advisory committee on business issues for Arlington Heights, has spent their energy on new interactive media.

"We’ve been very busy over the last couple of years," said John Melaniphy, business and development coordinator for the village. "Some of the biggest accomplishments were our websites."
