Vote on TIF district set for opponent's absence

RANTOUL – A village board member says he's disappointed he won't be able to vote on the creation of a controversial tax-increment-financing district.

Village board member Cliff White said he opposes a proposal to launch a district that would include the downtown area as well as a 350-lot residential subdivision and an adjacent commercial subdivision planned by developer Joe Warner.
