What a milestone! Congratulations to Scovill Zoo and the Decatur Park District!

We are so incredibly proud to announce a monumental milestone for our Zoo: 25 years of continuous accreditation by The Association of Zoos and Aquariums! 🦩 🐐 🐊

This achievement could not have been possible without the hard work of our staff and volunteers. Thank you so much for dedicating yourselves to proper animal welfare, conservation efforts, and providing an enriching and safe experience for all our visitors. 🎉

Illinois' Advancing Innovative Manufacturing (AIM Illinois) tax credit provides a credit against corporate income tax tied to capital investments of at least $10 million over five years. Eligible companies include, but are not limited to, clean energy, life sciences, food manufacturing, automotive and aerospace, machinery, fabricated metal, chemical manufacturing, robotics and advanced materials manufacturing. If your company is planning a major capital investment in Illinois, this credit is worth a look.
