Jobs in Illinois
Support a Rehab Tax Credit
In March 2010, the Illinois Senate passed SB 2559, but
the bill did not pass out of the House Revenue Committee. The bill is based on the
highly successful Missouri tax credit enacted in 1997,
which has generated nearly 40,000 jobs for Missourians.
The Illinois tax credit would have allowed a credit on Illinois
state income taxes equal to 25% of the cost of a
qualified historic rehabilitation, and to have been used in
conjunction with the 20% federal tax credit to provide
an important boost to many small-scale rehab projects
that would not be possible otherwise.
What You Can Do
Please ask your Senators
and Representatives to support the rehabilitation tax
credit bill in the next legislative session as
a means to create new jobs, draw new federal and private
investment to Illinois, and revitalize historic
buildings in your town.
