Alderman Hoffman leads reconsideration of McDonald’s incentive
The Rockford City Council voted to reconsider a previously approved $200,000 incentive for a proposed McDonald’s on the city’s West Side. The motion to revisit the investment was introduced by 8th Ward Alderman Karen Hoffman.
After weeks of uncertainty and a debate over whether taxpayer funds should help a national food chain, the Rockford City Council voted 9-4 Monday night to approve a $200,000 economic incentive for a planned McDonald's at 4103 W. State Street.
