The Chicago Bears are pushing to build a new stadium in suburban Arlington Heights, and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker was asked about a piece of legislation that could aid the project.

During a press availability Monday, Pritzker said that his administration is “still considering” a proposed bill that would help the Bears and other businesses to lock in property tax breaks and other incentives to help move along the proposed project at the site of the former Arlington Park International Racecourse.

“It’s something we’re still considering," he said during an event at Advocate Health Care. "We're going to evaluate what the costs are for the people of Illinois to do this, the benefits that come from attracting businesses as a result of providing that ability to use those tax dollars."
