Mayor Beck should move next door to new Amkor facility

Has Mayor Beck ever considered that the reason 80% of Peoria residents drive so far for work is they chose to do so for our current quality of life here in Vistancia?

I don’t see how Amkor improves Vistancia. I have nothing against Amkor, but their facility doesn’t fit the location. Mayor Beck may just kill the reason many people chose Vistancia and Peoria as their home.

Maybe Mayor Beck should move next door to the new Amkor facility to show he truly believes in the deal.
