As a Boone County resident/taxpayer and previous business owner, I would like to respond to a recent article in the Rockford Register Star regarding the new Boone County Animal Control Facility.I find it interesting that Illinois business people feel that local contracts should be given to an Illinois business with little or no experience in the proposed project field.Instead of challenging the decision, they need to go back to the conference room and analyze why they lost the contract and prepare for the next opportunity.I commend the Boone County board for selecting an architect with experience in the design and building animal control facilities in other states as well as Illinois. That experience will be incorporated into the specifications of the proposed facility.Local contractors will have an opportunity to bid on all or parts of the project.It is a win/win for the taxpayer, Boone County, employees, volunteers and the animals.— Bob Christianson, Belvidere
