Cook County committee approves three bundled property-tax incentive requests

At its Feb. 3, 2026 meeting the Cook County Business and Economic Development Committee approved three bundled property-tax incentive requests by roll call, with eight ayes and one excused absence.

Chair (S2) read three items grouped for consideration: item 26-0712, a 6B property-tax incentive request for Silco Glass in Chicago Ridge; item 26-0714, a 6P property-tax incentive request for C4T Properties in Elk Grove Village; and item 26-0715, a 6B property-tax incentive request for SFGISFTP in Chicago Ridge. Commissioner Miller moved approval and Commissioner Shawn Morrison seconded. The clerk conducted a roll-call vote; the clerk announced eight ayes and one excused absence for Commissioner Kevin Morrison, and declared the motion approved.

Earlier in the meeting the committee approved item 26-0941, the minutes for the committee meeting, on a motion from Commissioner Shawn Morrison with a second from Commissioner Bill Lowry. The committee subsequently moved to adjourn (moved by Commissioner Miller; seconded by Commissioner Shawn Morrison), the ayes carried and the chair adjourned the meeting.

The public-comment period preceded the votes and included multiple speakers raising concerns about economic development and local investment on Chicago's South and West sides; committee members did not take additional committee action on those comments during the meeting. Specific application details for the approved property-tax incentive requests (such as the requested abatements, term lengths or estimated tax impact) were not provided in the public transcript for these items and are not specified here.
