Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has proposed new statewide zoning standards aimed at expanding housing supply, particularly “missing middle” housing such as duplexes, triplexes, and small multi-family buildings.

The proposal would establish baseline zoning standards across municipalities to address housing shortages and promote greater density near transit corridors and job centers.

For �鶹��� members, zoning reform and housing expansion represent significant implications for:

• Increased demand for residential and mixed-use construction

• HVAC installation in multi-family and mid-rise projects

• Long-term workforce and infrastructure planning
  

As states continue to evaluate housing policy reforms, �鶹��� chapters should stay engaged with local officials to ensure that building standards, energy codes, and workforce development priorities reflect the realities of construction and skilled labor capacity.
