Trifinity Specialized Distribution, a distribution and third-party logistics company currently based in Waukegan, is in the process of moving to a new 250,000-square-foot facility in Kenosha, said Jim Merlo, the company’s owner and chief executive officer.
The company, which employs 61 people, signed a long-term lease with Zilber Property Group for one of its recently constructed industrial facilities, according to a news release.
Merlo pointed to taxes, in particular property taxes and the climbing gasoline tax; a more welcoming business climate; and safety concerns, following the AB Specialty Silicones explosion in May that killed four people, as reasons for the move.
Yep, much lower property taxes as well as all sorts of other taxes like gasoline and sales tax just to name a few. And don’t forget much lower workmen’s compensation rates as well.
Who in their right mind wouldn’t want to get the hell out of Illinois?
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.
