But for One Central to achieve liftoff, there’s the little matter of the $6.5 billion in state financing over 20 years that Landmark Development says it would need to make the project work.
The budget approved during Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s first year in office in 2019 gave the state authority to enter into negotiations with the developer, but there has been little public action since.
Early this year, Pritzker spokeswoman Emily Bittner said the administration was focused on recovering from the pandemic and that it would be “a challenge for any state to provide the significant amount this developer is seeking.”

Doesn't sound like they are inclined to provide the $6.5b.
