Despite the lax policies of the previous administration, we are doing everything necessary to make companies both large and small live up to their end of agreements. If they don’t, the state has the ability, and the obligation, to get its fair share of the economic incentives back. In fact, this is the first administration to put corporate accountability recapture language in all new business deals.
The article also mentioned the 1999 and 2000 statistics in Site Selection magazine’s ranking of corporate sites in the country, but the piece failed to mention Illinois has been ranked number one in the country by Site Selection for economic development in the past two years, beating out other major industrial states like Michigan, New York, Ohio, and California. We are proud Illinois has superior resources–the number one distribution and transportation hub in the country, the best and most diversified workforce, and world-class institutions–all to support business growth.
