1  programs and competitive tax incentives. Certain businesses
2  and commercial operations that generate significant economic
3  activity bear a disproportionately high property tax burden
4  compared to their impact on government services and compared
5  to their positive economic benefits to the State and the local
6  economy and their derivative benefits to taxing districts. To
7  incentivize the significant capital investment and economic
8  activity of certain large-scale businesses and industrial and
9  commercial operations, the State finds that a valuation
10  procedure for real property taxes on special properties, known
11  as megaprojects, will reduce barriers to investment and
12  economic activity in Illinois. The General Assembly finds that
13  it is in the best interest of Illinois to establish a new
14  category of valuation for megaprojects that recognizes their
15  complexity and encourages local development at underutilized
16  properties.
