Will County Eyes Half-Cent Sales Tax Plan
The Will County Board of Supervisors may adopt an ordinance Monday to levy a half cent sales tax in unincorporated areas, expected to raise about 120000 yearly for police, Sunny Hill nursing home expansion, and other county needs. The plan follows a legislative bill allowing counties to collect the tax and aims to bolster patrols, staffing, and civil defense.
