DeKalb Center Bill Advances in Illinois Senate
The Illinois Senate approved a measure 49 to 3 allowing DeKalb County to form a civic center authority with state aid for an auditorium. The bill lowers the required minimum assessed valuation from 600 million to 300 million and would enable Adams, Kankakee and Livingston counties to form authorities. The proposal also seeks to fix legal issues in past laws granting civic center authority to several Illinois cities and counties.
