Governor Launches Illinois Recovery Website

Wondering how Illinois will benefit from the $787 Billion (that’s with a “B”!) stimulus package? IL Governor Pat Quinn launched a website to information about the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and how it relates specifically to Illinois taxpayers.

Illinois will seek part of the $2 Billion set aside for the redevelopment of foreclosed and abandoned homes to help fund its own Neighborhood Stabilization Program which provides emergency assistance to local governments to acquire and rehab foreclosed properties.
