SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Supreme Court will give Provena Covenant Medical Center another chance.
The state's high court Wednesday granted Provena's petition to review a 4th District Appellate Court ruling back in August that removed the Urbana hospital's property tax exemption.
The Supreme Court will settle an ongoing issue that has been played out in the state's lower courts, about whether Covenant can be billed for local property taxes in the future and whether the hospital or local taxing bodies will eventually keep more than $6 million that Covenant has paid in taxes since 2002.
