A Canadian manufacturer last week chose the Chicago region to host its first U.S. facility. Lion Electric Co. will manufacture its all-electric medium- and heavy-duty urban vehicles at a 906K SF facility under construction at 3835 Youngs Road in southwest suburban Joliet. Gov. J.B. Pritzker, along with many other state and municipal officials, joined the company’s leaders on Friday to announce the $70M project.
“The new Joliet facility will put Illinois at the forefront of a national movement to transition to zero-emission vehicle use, advancing our own goals of putting 1 million of these cars on the road by 2030,” Pritzker said Friday. “In Illinois, we know that a clean energy economy is about more than just vehicles it’s about healthier communities and jobs for those who live there.”

Delinquent rent in Chicago could now exceed $1B, according to a survey released last week by the Neighborhood Building Owners Alliance, a group of small and midsized Chicago landlords.
The high level of delinquency brought about by the coronavirus pandemic is leading to neighborhood disinvestment. With their revenue plunging to historic lows, 65% of landlords surveyed said they expect to make fewer capital improvements. In addition, nearly half expect to cut down on repairs and maintenance.
“With so much delinquent rent, many housing providers lack the funds to continue to maintain their properties,” NBOA President Michael Glasser said in a press release.
