A special village board meeting held on November 20, 2024, resulted in the approval of a resolution to amend the 2024 budget for the purchase of new tasers for the Police Department. The motion received unanimous support from board members, who emphasized the necessity of updating outdated equipment to enhance public safety.

Following the board meeting, the Plan Commission convened to discuss significant developments, including a site plan review for a Microsoft Corporation data center. The proposed project involves constructing a 3,189,000 square foot complex within the tax incremental district number 5, which Microsoft owns. The plan includes three main buildings: two single-story data centers and one larger two-story facility.

The application aligns with the village's comprehensive land use plan, and while there are no designated open space protections in the area, some buffer zones have been identified. The commission noted that the necessary parcel merger for the project is underway, with the approval process progressing smoothly.

These discussions reflect ongoing efforts to enhance local law enforcement capabilities and attract significant business investments, indicating a proactive approach to community safety and economic development.
