Legal Counsel on Rural Economic Development Issues
The outflow of jobs from rural communities — caused by increased competition from foreign sources, among others — has caused serious economic downturn throughout rural Illinois. Small business owners have been hit especially hard. Now, however, small business owners and rural municipalities may be able to take advantage of public and private economic development assistance programs to turn local economies around.
Illinois government attorney Tom Kelty of the Kelty Law Offices has more than three decades' experience representing governments and businesses throughout Illinois. A lawyer who knows how to untangle complex legal and transactional issues in order to clearly present various options and an opinion on their relative worth, Mr. Kelty has established a professional reputation as a skillful municipal attorney in Illinois.

Rather than try to generate new businesses and new jobs, existing small business owners in rural communities are now in the spotlight — as developers look toward retaining and strengthening existing businesses. This jobs growth strategy presents incredible opportunities for rural small business owners and for rural municipalities seeking economic transformation.
There are substantial resources available in the form of economic development assistance through agencies of the Illinois state government. At the Kelty Law Offices, we are proud to work with local communities on rural economic transformation plans that include many different elements, including creative land use decisions and incentives for small business owners
