Plan for second TIF district draws crowd
RANTOUL – Angela Gordon of Rantoul says she worries about the kind of town her seven-week-old baby will grow up in if Rantoul gets a second tax increment financing district.
"Five families on my street moved away, and my home is worth less now than it was when we purchased it five years ago," said Gordon, who lives on the former Chanute Air Force Base. "Putting a cap on our schools' money for 23 years is insane. It doesn't make sense."
