SB 688 Illinois Senate · 103rd Regular Session

LOCAL GOVERNMENT-TECH

This bill creates the Cairo Development Authority to oversee redevelopment projects in Alexander County, specifically targeting vacant and underutilized commercial, industrial, and residential properties. The new authority will be governed by a five-member board appointed by local and state officials, who will have the power to issue revenue bonds and provide financial aid for construction and improvements. Key provisions allow the authority to acquire land, clean up environmental issues, and lease or loan funds to private developers for projects that include housing, businesses, and infrastructure. Once established, the authority aims to attract new residents and businesses while creating jobs and affordable housing opportunities for the community.
