The concerts rain money for city projects like a revamp to the city's Riverwalk area.
On Friday night and Saturday night, a northwest suburb will host two benefit concerts to pay for community upgrades.Morning Insider Lauren Victory explains how the mayor's clever math made the music happen.
"I think everyone's pretty excited in the community," said Jett, explaining that everyone in the community benefits from the benefit concerts. It's all in the name R.I.S.E. Up which stands for"Revitalize, Invest, Succeed and Encourage." This year's proceeds will pay to revamp McHenry's Riverwalk area. Plans include fresh landscaping, an ice skating rink and an amphitheater. Cute, tiny shops with a low square footage will charge low rent to budding businesses in the area.
"It's kind of tough to say but I'm kind of one of those people that I'm 100% in," said Jett who wasn't kidding, because it turns out that he personally loaned more than $200,000 to his foundation to get 2022's live music fundraiser off the ground. He did the same thing for 2021's event.
