State to spend $10 million on Cook County projects
The state of Illinois is investing more than $10 million for construction projects in Cook County.

The projects that will receive the money are in Chicago, Alsip, Broadview, Countryside, Glenview, North Riverside, Oak Forest, Orland Park, Oak Lawn, Skokie and Tinley Park.
The most money will go to a $1.5 million project in Chicago to install heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in state driver services facilities.
