Legislation Priorities

-2005 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES-

Brisbin Road Project
Phase 2 Engineering is underway and set to be completed in early 2007. Grundy County is currently working with federal, state, and local entities to fund the shortfall of approximately $5.4 Million for the construction of the $15 Million interchange.

Economic Development Project Areas (EDPA's)
To be more competitive in attracting new jobs and investment in Grundy County, EDPA’s must be established to minimize the penalties of the M&E tax.

No New Business Fees
Balancing the budget crisis on the backs of local business has discouraged job growth and investment in Illinois. As this year's budget looms, a combination of solutions is needed, including limits put on spending.
