JOLIET, IL- The Will County Board today was applauded by Will County's Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt during the annual Will County Bar Association's State of the Courthouse address for tirelessly working to build a new, modern courthouse and judicial complex that will help to improve public safety.

"Much work was done over the last several months and especially the past few weeks," said Chief Judge Schoenstedt.  "The entire county board, both sides of the aisle, along with County Executive Larry Walsh and his staff worked tirelessly to come up with the plan to fund several necessary capital projects.  Their leadership and overall encouragement of all county board members to put aside their differences and bring their ideas to the table has been inspiring.  The bonds that will be issued will be paid for by current revenue streams, without raising sales or real estate taxes."

Board finalizing financial plan for major capital improvement projects

Plan includes new courthouse, sheriff's office, Health Dept.

JOLIET, IL- The Will County Board today continued discussions about a financing plan to move forward with several major capital improvement projects, including a new courthouse, sheriff's office, and health department building, and the allocation of cash reserves for Weber Road reconstruction. The plan calls for bonding $225 million, using dedicated revenue streams, and getting shovels in the ground by next year.

"The Board has come together in a bipartisan fashion to form a fiscally conservative plan to move forward with a Long Range Building Plan to address very important public safety needs," said County Board Speaker Jim Moustis. "This is a significant investment in the future of our county, as we build modern facilities and upgrade our busy roadways, and will pay dividends for a generation to come."
