Renew, Renovate and Restore
When one of the State of Illinois’ 8,771 properties requires repair or renovation, the Capital Development Board manages the project. Many projects involve modernizing facilities to meet accessibility standards and protecting the lives and safety of Illinois residents by removing such environmental hazards as asbestos and lead. Projects can range from the replacement of a failing heating system to the restoration of internationally significant historic structures.
School Construction
The Capital Development Board in partnership with the Illinois State Board of Education has provided over $3.4 billion in state grants for school construction and renovation through the School Construction Program. The program has benefited over 500 elementary and secondary school districts in every part of the state.
