Illinois State University Board of Trustees Approves Purchase of GE Road Building from COUNTRY Financial®

Today the Illinois State University Board of Trustees approved the purchase of the GE Road building from COUNTRY Financial.

Illinois State University, Normal, is under contract to purchase the GE Road buildings for the future location of their College of Engineering.

The sale of the GE Road buildings is a key step in creating a single corporate campus on Towanda Avenue for our Bloomington-based employees. “At COUNTRY Financial, we’re committed to enriching lives in the communities we serve,” said COUNTRY Financial CEO Jim Jacobs.

“This agreement with Illinois State University is a powerful example of just that. The College of Engineering will produce a new generation of diverse talent supporting companies like COUNTRY and other Bloomington-Normal employers. Bringing this kind of talent into our community helps COUNTRY remain future-focused, financially strong, and well-equipped to continue serving clients.”
