Warehouse Deal Collapse: A proposed 930,000-square-foot I-80 distribution center in Mercer County is off after the tenant backed out, with the end-user’s business model reportedly changing—leaving InSight still marketing the site and reassessing. Design & Engineering Recognition: Freeport-based Fehr Graham landed on ENR’s Top 500 Design Firms list for a fifth straight year, ranking No. 452. Convenience Store Beverage Momentum: Circana says c-store convenience beverages posted year-over-year gains in early 2026, with energy drinks driving much of the non-alcohol growth. Cybersecurity Warning: A new commentary argues today’s cybersecurity systems aren’t ready for AI-driven attacks, even as tools emerge to find weaknesses. Illinois Courts & Public Safety: Chicago Public Schools is projecting a $732.5M deficit and is moving to staffing changes, while the city still hasn’t decided on a ShotSpotter replacement—“lives are at risk,” critics say. Consumer Fraud Watch: Minnesota’s AG sued an Illinois company accused of posing as hundreds of local home-repair businesses.
