 Illinois wrapped up 2025 on a high note with record economic achievements, including $13 billion in incentivized private investments that created nearly 3,000 new jobs and retained thousands more, according to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Governor JB Pritzker highlighted growth in quantum computing, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing, with milestones like the groundbreaking for PsiQuantum's facility at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park on Chicago's South Side, as reported by IQMP officials. Notable business moves included Rivian's $120 million expansion in Normal creating 100 jobs and Pure Lithium Corporation relocating battery operations to Chicago.

In politics, over 300 new laws take effect January 1, 2026, covering mental health coverage for first responders without cost-sharing, bans on non-competes for mental health professionals serving veterans, and protections against medical debt reporting to credit agencies, per Disparti Law Group and Capitol News Illinois. The state ended its grocery tax and bolstered aquifer protections. Tensions with federal immigration enforcement, dubbed Operation Midway Blitz, sparked lawsuits and No Kings rallies, though activity slowed by December.

Infrastructure advanced under the Rebuild Illinois program, with $20.8 billion invested in highways, bridges, and trails, including completion of the Kennedy Expressway rehab and progress on Interstate 80, IDOT announced. Public safety saw pushes after a fiery CTA attack and local crimes like the Sheridan double homicide.

No major statewide weather events marred the year, though late December tornadoes hit parts of central Illinois on the 28th, per National Weather Service.

Looking Ahead: Watch for the $50.6 billion multi-year construction program starting 2026, quantum tech expansions at IQMP, and U.S. Senate races following Sen. Dick Durbin's retirement announcement. The legislative session resumes with focus on transit funding and energy reforms.
