Under the leadership of Aurora Mayor Richard C. Irvin, the city continues to achieve significant milestones. A recent accomplishment includes the Aurora City Council’s approval of the tax increment financing district for the $360 million Hollywood Casino-Aurora project, marking the successful culmination of efforts initiated in 2019 to relocate the casino.
In another noteworthy development, Congressman Bill Foster played a pivotal role in securing $1 million in federal funding for improvements at the intersection of Montgomery Road and Hill Avenue. This funding is earmarked for enhancing traffic capacity, safety, and overall operations, with a focus on minimizing environmental impacts.
These accomplishments underscore the ongoing dedication of the Irvin administration and the city council to serve the best interests of Aurora residents. The commitment to strategic projects and securing vital funding reflects a proactive approach to fostering growth, safety, and overall well-being within the community.
