But the facility will still likely close
JACKSONVILLE, ILL. -- There's money in the Illinois state budget to keep the Developmental Center in Jacksonville open, but it'll likely still close it's doors.

State Representative Jim Watson fought hard to get money in the budget for the J.D.C., but knowing the governor's feelings toward state institutions, Watson says having the money may at least delay the closing.
