VIRTUAL TOWN HALL WITH PRESIDENT TONI PRECKWINKLE

How is the Cook County Board of Commissioners President Handling The Coronavirus Pandemic?

Cook County was able to economically recover from the Spanish Flu of 1918 better than most other major areas of the country due to strong leadership and the resolve of its citizens. Right now, local governments everywhere are faced with making difficult decisions to keep both their residents and economies as healthy as possible. How is Cook County planning on weathering the storm?

Join Bisnow along with Toni Preckwinkle, president of the Cook County Board of Commissioners and Peter Verros, partner at Verros Berkshire for a discussion on the efforts the county is making to keep residents safe and businesses afloat during these difficult times. Topics discussed will include how local and state governments have been working in lockstep to create the best results for the residents of Cook County as well as healthcare, criminal justice and economic development.
