Pace welcomed Governor JB Pritzker, Illinois State Representative William Q. Davis, Illinois State Representative Robert Rita, Illinois State Representative Debbie Meyers-Martin, Illinois State Representative Matt Hanson, Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman, and Mayor Roger Agpawa of Markham, along with state and community leaders to celebrate the completion of its new facility in Markham. Pace’s latest investment in the south suburbs marks a significant milestone in modernizing operations, bolstering the agency’s south suburban workforce, and enhancing our central Safety and Training, including introducing a bus operator training course.  

The Markham campus project was made possible by a $7.1 million investment from the governor’s historic, bipartisan Rebuild Illinois capital program and an additional $27.1 million in state funding. Additional funding was provided by the Federal Transportation Authority ($1.3 million), Regional Transportation Authority Bonds ($1.9 million), and Pace capital funds ($2.6 million). 

The Markham site has spurred economic development through job creation and will improve access to employment by supporting Pace service throughout the south suburbs. “One of the hallmarks of my administration as Chairman of the Pace Board is ensuring that Pace contributes to economic development in our region. This project is another example of that value we create,” said Pace Chairman Rick Kwasneski.

Shot early morning in the parking lot of the new PACE building in Markham, IL (very close to my apartment I found out). This set turned out better than I thought as the 5d Mark II is getting up there in age and usability in the bright sunlight (I could barely see my screen to check what I was shooting. I did not know I would be outside all day or I would have brought along the Zacuto Z-finder from days of old. Alas.
