City extends enterprise zone

CHAMPAIGN – The Champaign City Council voted Tuesday to extend enterprise zone tax benefits worth nearly $10 million to the planned Clearview commercial development and to a proposed ethanol plant.

In a 6-3 vote, council members voted to expand the joint city-Champaign County enterprise zone's boundaries to include 112 acres immediately south of The Andersons' grain elevators in unincorporated northwest Champaign, where the proposed $140 million ethanol plant would go.
