HOUSE RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, The 94th General Assembly enacted the River Edge Redevelopment Zone Act, which offers certain riverfront communities significant tax incentives for business development in what are now dilapidated riverfront areas; and

WHEREAS, This program has the potential to attract new businesses, jobs, and tourists to economically depressed riverfront communities; and

WHEREAS, The Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity has yet to take action to fully implement the provisions of this Act; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-FIFTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge the Governor and the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to take all appropriate action for the expedient designation by the Department of River Edge Development Zones under the River Edge Redevelopment Zone Act and for the expedient and full implementation of that Act; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be delivered to the Governor and to the Director of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
