The Will County Board will meet Friday to deal with a $2.8 million deficit in the 2026 budget.

The agenda for the meeting at 10 a.m. Friday includes a resolution to use county cash reserves to cover the deficit.

The board last week approved a budget but reduced the property tax levy proposed by Will County Executive Jennifer Bertinop-Tarrant to pay for it.

The reduced levy was supported by board Republicans along with one Democrat. A few Republicans at the meeting said they supported using cash reserves to balance the budget.
