 Illinois wraps up 2025 with a mix of fiscal reforms, infrastructure gains, and community investments amid steady economic progress. Top headlines include the end of the statewide one percent grocery tax on January 1, 2026, though local taxes persist in many areas, according to Illinois Times[1]. Chicago adopted a 16.6 billion dollar budget, layering on 535 million dollars in new taxes like a cloud computing hike to 15 percent, as reported by the Illinois Policy Institute[3]. The Illinois Department of Transportation advanced Rebuild Illinois, completing over 20 billion dollars in highway and bridge work, including Interstate 80 milestones and new trails like the Lincoln Trail[4]. Nearly 300 new laws take effect soon, from aquifer protections to education enhancements, per Capitol News Illinois[20].

In government and politics, the state legislature passed tax tweaks like a 2025 amnesty program and Secure Choice Savings penalties, detailed in the Illinois Department of Revenue's FY 2025 summary[2]. Governor Pritzker signed measures boosting local food grants, with four million dollars available for small farmers starting January, via the Department of Agriculture, as noted by Capitol News Illinois[7].

Business and economy see momentum from the Surplus to Success program repurposing state properties with 300 million dollars for development[11], and University of Illinois Chicago securing 490.7 million dollars in research funding[12]. Education funding nears 11.2 billion dollars for fiscal 2026, with nine point three million dollars in bridge grants from the Illinois Community College Board to link adults to careers[8][5].

Community efforts shine in public safety and infrastructure, with IDOT grants enhancing bike paths and trails statewide[4]. No major recent weather events disrupted the year.

Looking Ahead: Watch for the 2025 tax amnesty close on November 17, Local Food Infrastructure Grant applications in early January, and the multi-year 50.6 billion dollar construction program rolling out through 2031.
