Helping Secure New Jobs in Illinois

I am pleased to announce that Navistar International Corp.—one of the nation’s largest trucking manufacturers—is moving and expanding their world headquarters to Lisle, Illinois.

This summer, I helped negotiate with Navistar and nearby residents to ensure their move to Lisle, which will create and retain 3,000 jobs and 400 construction jobs for Illinois.

In this tough economy, we need to do everything we can to keep and attract companies and jobs. Navistar’s decision is a victory for the people of Illinois. The jobs and tax revenue generated from this project will be a boost to the Illinois economy.

I’m proud I was able to help.
