Workforce study documents needs of industry that employs 19,000 people here

ROCKFORD - A recent study by the American Heart Association (AHA) revealed that some patients tend to suffer memory loss following a heart attack. The study was actually six long-term studies that observed 31,000 people from 1971 to 2017. At the time they were enrolled, none of the people had yet had a heart attack or displayed any signs of dementia. The data showed that 1,047 participants, who were followed from five to 20 years and later had a heart attack, showed faster decline in memory, global cognition and executive function in the years after the heart attack compared to those in the study who hadn’t suffered a heart attack. According to the AHA, this is one of the first studies to look at how sudden cardiac events like heart attacks affect brain function over the short and long term. “With a heart attack the blood is not being properly pumped to the brain so there could be some damage," says Dr. Mirza Ali Khan, a family practice physician with OSF HealthCare.

Granite, as locals refer to it, is launching a pilot program to incentivize home buyers and investors to increase homeownership and community pride the historic neighborhoods of Lincoln Place, West Granite, and the downtown area. The city’s recipe for success? Pairing two respected economic development incentives – one that waives sales tax for major home improvements, with another that holds a homeowner’s property tax constant for 10 years, based upon the assessed value prior to when any of the home improvements have occurred. The result is a powerful homeowner-specific incentives
