Sen. Rose Focused on Opportunities For Champaign to Bloomington to Decatur

Huge opportunities for cooperation between Champaign, Bloomington and Decatur and all the areas in between are what a local lawmaker is focused on this summer.

 

Thursday morning on the WHOW Morning Show, State Senator Chapin Rose says there is a lot of potential for the triangular area of central Illinois that Clinton and DeWitt County falls right in the heart of. He says during his downtime as a lawmaker, he's been trying to get the ball rolling on what could be great potential for central Illinois.

 

 

According to Sen. Rose, he held a meeting earlier this week to get things going and came away feeling very positive about the possibilities. He notes ag-tech could be just one area that offers huge potential.

 

 

State Farm, Caterpillar and the University of Illinois Police Training Academy are just some of the areas that Sen. Rose says have the grounds for real potential and growth in central Illinois.

 

 

Sen. Rose feels the days of communities looking out for themselves are over and we have to start shifting our thinking to working together to better the whole region.

 

 

The Senator is focused on getting the right people in the room and developing a plan with quote - "some intentionality behind it."
