Pritzker announces $2.4M for Rockford infrastruture for future IL Route 2-US 20 development
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Rockford will benefit from $2.4 million in funding for 'site ready' construction projects aimed at laying the groundwork for upcoming development. The money comes from $31 million in total Regional Site Readiness Program grants from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. 'Readiness planning, assessments, infrastructure improvements – these things are all the fundamental work that must be done for businesses and investments to flourish and jobs to grow across the state,' said Pritzker. 'In every corner of Illinois, there are communities that are overflowing with untapped potential but do not have the resources and support they needed to fully realize it. Now, standing in front of you, I'm happy to say a whole lot has changed – we are investing in our sites, we are thinking about the future, and we are growing economic development across the state.' Rockford will dedicate its funding to road and water infrastructure near the Illinois Route 2 and US 20 interchange. This comes as a from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development's Planning and Environmental Linkage study for the area, located northwest of the Chicago-Rockford International Airport and 4.5 miles from downtown Rockford. The city hopes to use the area for an industrial business park. In addition, Belvidere will receive nearly $3 million to extend water and sewer to a 137-acre site on Chrysler Drive east of the Stellantis auto plant. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
