Earlier this Summer, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed into law “Rebuild Illinois,” the state’s first capital plan in nearly a decade. The $45 billion plan appropriates funds for a comprehensive range of vertical and horizontal construction projects, statewide, over the next six years. 

Rebuild Illinois also authorizes Gaming Expansion in Illinois. SR 690, one of three bills that compose Rebuild Illinois, legalizes sports wagering and expands gaming, which will generate the funding for the plan’s vertical projects, primarily those for affordable housing, hospitals, universities, and state facilities.
