'With this law, communities across the state gain needed economic development and we become more competitive,' said Sen.

We can all be proud of the historic path we are paving for our state and for our future.' 'This $45 billion capital plan was crafted with bipartisan, bicameral support and will put over half a million people to work. 'Rebuild Illinois will revitalize communities across our state and provide our residents with the safe and reliable infrastructure they depend on,' said Sen. 'The sustained investment in our transportation & vertical infrastructure remains vital to ensure that our state continues to be attractive and viable to our residents, business partners and future investors in our state's economy.' 'As Minority Spokesperson, I would like to thank Governor Pritzker and Transportation Committee Chairperson Sandoval for the bi-partisan spirit in which this initiative came together,' said Sen. 'Rebuild Illinois is an investment in Illinois, its people and future generations of Illinoisans.' We are delivering on the promise to improve the lives of people across our state,' said Lt. 'I am proud of Governor Pritzker's leadership and the bi-partisan support behind Rebuild Illinois. This has been a team effort and it's been an honor to be part of it.' 'Because of this effort, there will be better roads, better bridges, better schools, better health and better opportunities for the people of this great state. 'This bipartisan success sends a strong message that Illinois is moving forward, and we are moving forward together,' said Senate President John Cullerton. This is a job creation plan the likes of which our state has never seen.' This is more than an infrastructure plan. With these investments, we're creating and supporting hundreds of thousands of new jobs in our state. We're also making critical investments in our higher education institutions, our crime lab and veterans' homes, early childhood centers, and expanding broadband access to communities across Illinois. 'The Rebuild Illinois plan transforms our state's approach to transportation infrastructure, finally treating our roads, bridges, and railways like 21st century investments and not relics of the past. 'With this historic $45 billion capital plan, we're fixing decades-long problems, creating good jobs, improving communities for the next generation - and doing it together, across party lines,' said Gov. The historic plan was passed with vast bipartisan supermajorities and will make $45 billion worth of investments in roads, bridges, railways, universities, early childhood centers and state facilities like the crime lab and veterans' homes over the next six years, creating and supporting an estimated 540,000 jobs over the life of the plan and revitalizing local economies across the state. Surrounded by lawmakers of both parties and representatives from the business community and labor movement, Governor JB Pritzker signed Rebuild Illinois into law, the most robust capital plan in Illinois history and the first in nearly a decade.
