Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle released on Thursday, June 24, the preliminary forecast for the County’s Fiscal Year 2022 showing a projected gap of approximately $121.4 million, a sharp decline from the nearly $410 million projected gap in FY2021.
A combination of rebounding revenues, Federal relief and prudent financial management have contributed to the encouraging budget picture, according to county officials. The $121.4 million projected gap marks one of the smallest gaps since Preckwinkle took office.
