AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Manufacturing: Viakable plans a $55 million expansion at its La Salle plant, adding 50 jobs and retaining 65, with support from Illinois’ EDGE program. Logistics: ePost Global has moved to a nearly three-times-larger Itasca facility near O’Hare, expanding capacity as shipping volumes grow. City Finances: Mayor Brandon Johnson has signaled support for corporate taxes as Chicago faces a budget shortfall. Energy and Data Centers: A proposed Illinois data-center boom could bring many construction jobs, but reporting suggests far fewer permanent positions and warns power costs could rise. Google and Constellation have also agreed to expand nuclear generation in Illinois. Farm Costs: Gov. JB Pritzker’s order allowing dyed diesel on Illinois roads aims to ease fuel costs for farmers, though retailers have raised concerns.
