Prognosis

Not enough signal yet

In plain language

The bill requires municipal support for extending redevelopment project timelines.

This bill modifies the process for extending the timelines of redevelopment projects in Illinois. Municipalities must obtain written support from local taxing districts before such extensions can be considered.

What this means for you
  • Park Districts: This means your park district must support timelines extensions for redevelopment projects that affect local finances.
  • School Districts: This means your district will have a say before prolonged redevelopment project timelines can be approved.
  • Community Colleges: This means your college district will need to provide written support before extensions of redevelopment projects.
