Cook County Board Approves Two Tax Incentives Designed to Support Economic Growth

The Cook County Board of Commissioners today approved two proposals from President Toni Preckwinkle’s Bureau of Economic Development (BED) that will provide tax incentives to businesses in Cook County.

The incentives, which will either create new or save existing jobs, were approved in the following communities: Elk Grove Village and Mount Prospect. 

As a result of redevelopment activities, these incentives should support the creation of an estimated 20 new private sector full-time jobs, retain an estimated 40 full-time jobs and support 20 construction jobs.
