Urge Action on Will County Assessments and County Reforms
Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce urges Will County Board of Supervisors to appoint a full time supervisor of assessments to improve uniformity across 24 townships and move toward a 1.0 multiplier. The letter cites delays, underassessed towns, and protests threatening tax funding, proposing reassessment study and intercounty lessons from Peoria. The note also mentions Grundy County’s longstanding supervisor of assessments since 1959 and recalls the St. Louis Hawks sweeping the Knickerbockers and Bengals in prior seasons.
