Trifinity Specialized Distribution, a Waukegan, Ill.-based company that serves major box stores and drug retailers, is relocating to Kenosha, bringing 61 jobs with plans to expand capacity. The company founder noted that the move is a money saver in several ways, saying taxes in Illinois, Lake County and the local community made it difficult to remain there. He also said the tax structure is lower in Wisconsin than in Illinois and noted that the Illinois fuel tax is going up by 35 percent.
Don’t forget about the 1 Million sq ft Amazon distribution center being built in Beloit. Should open later this year and will bring 500 jobs. Casino there still in works with initial plans to open in 2021. Rockford casino will probably open at the next turn of the century due to all the red tape and hoops people have to jump thru. Illinois had zero “0” chance on the center but the Rockford airport should benefit due to close proximity. With all the new and more tax’s coming the best business to be in is plywood and making red tape.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
