DIXON – The Lee County Board will vote on extending the Lee and Ogle County Enterprise Zone at its next meeting Tuesday.

John Thompson, president of Lee County Industrial Development Association, is working with the Greater Rochelle Economic Development Corp. to extend the enterprise zone to property on ProLogis Park near the Lee and Ogle counties border.

An enterprise zone is a statewide economic development tool use by communities to persuade new or old businesses to expand there, cutting a portion or all of their property taxes, sales taxes on building materials or utility costs.
