Officials unveil plan for economic growth in Will County area

If anything is going to spur job and business growth in the Will County region, it’s going to take a joint effort between business, education and government leaders. That is the goal of U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-11th, who on Friday launched his Project Growth with a group of community leaders.

His plan will focus on strengthening the middle class, investing in transportation and infrastructure, having a well-trained, well-educated workforce and supporting manufacturing.
