Illinois Business Review

AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Business Costs: October inflation rose 0.4%, above forecasts, with food, energy and housing adding pressure; Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee called the report troubling as markets weighed a possible rate increase. Jobs and Manufacturing: Ferrara plans to close its Little Village candy plant in April, eliminating 154 jobs. The company says production may shift to other facilities and affected workers can stay through the shutdown. City Budget: Mayor Brandon Johnson faces opposition from 28 aldermen to his $17.6 billion budget, which proposes new business and other taxes; he says he will work with them on a deal. Hemp Retail: A court hearing delayed Illinois’ intoxicating-hemp ban until at least Nov. 19, allowing some businesses covered by the lawsuit to keep selling products for now. Transportation and Investment: Amazon is moving ahead with a drone-delivery center in Markham, while United’s CEO urged the FAA to address staffing and taxi delays at O’Hare.
