“City to delay aid application”

“The Illinois Dept. of Business and Economic Development (BED) has begun taking applications for

state support of civic center construction.  Springfield was the first metropolitan and civic center to

apply, according to a spokesman for the department.

 

Joe Pisciotte, director of BED, said guidelines for judging applications for support were approved

last week, after several months of development.   There are currently six authorities eligible for support:

Springfield, Decatur, Danville, Peoria, Rockford and Aurora.”
