Rochelle Development Information Just over an hour from the global city of Chicago, Rochelle is located at the crossroad of two highways and Union Pacific and BNSF railways. These logistical features have led to it being known as “The Hub City”. Despite its proximity to Chicago, Rochelle is surrounded by an abundant natural environment. This setting pairs with a population of less than 10,000 to create Rochelle’s small-town atmosphere. Various industrial parks located directly adjacent to its two railways afford great logistic advantages. With many excellent industrial parks and business sites, Rochelle offers an ideal location for new industrial developments.
