Freeborn Serves as Special Construction Law Counsel for the Renovation of the Illinois Governor's Mansion, Reopening Tomorrow

Congratulations to the Illinois Governor’s Mansion Association on the completion of the renovation of the Illinois Governor’s Mansion in Springfield. The Mansion renovation was funded completely by private dollars and in-kind donations. Freeborn’s Construction Law Services Group was proud to be selected as Special Construction Law Counsel for this historic undertaking wherein they provided pro-bono construction law counsel to the Association throughout the multi-year renovation project. The Mansion was initially constructed in 1855 and first occupied by Governor Joel Matteson. The Mansion was later added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Renovations to this popular tourist destination began in 2015 and the Mansion will officially reopen to the public on July 14, 2018.
