The rail safety proclamation noted that in 2024 there were 103 crashes at railroad crossings in Illinois, resulting in 52 injuries and 20 fatalities, and that the village’s police department will participate in local rail-safety efforts aligned with Operation Lifesaver. The Constitution Week proclamation referenced federal public law that directs annual recognition of the Constitution and invited residents to reflect on civic responsibilities.

Both proclamations were ceremonial and informational; the board did not take formal policy action on them during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","09.16.2025 Village Board","oneSentenceSummary","The village issued proclamations recognizing National Rail Safety Week (Sept. 15–20, 2025) and Constitution Week (September 2025).","taxTitle","Cary, McHenry County, Illinois","taxId",70300,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5982209,"Village staff previews Main Street Fest, Seasons of Cary schedule and constituent event with senator",198,565000,763000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5775505-59e6c9741c539b0c869fe58b83bce1bc&start=565&end=763","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5775505-59e6c9741c539b0c869fe58b83bce1bc/thumbnail_565000.jpg","/articles/5982209/Cary/McHenry-County/Illinois/Village-staff-previews-Main-Street-Fest-Seasons-of-Cary-schedule-and-constituent-event-with-senator","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5982209-097364e858e3e78eea86c2223198bba4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771130657&Signature=jmw4UcibsHrNLb163s6tYXv1TpkCB9AtWxtF~Mi2aQq97A-4B8RU4ZHSD4wU9CO3atwkUyTEDtsW2U20CZOsiQhQ5hPww~5fiG~JDyNxHy1qjVqofej5~E-NP06vXLJpOHSeiKVQ~9TlLKIQ8jVPVrBLf0WPOYGkE57hZudrf4TIlXRVP8mPrkIURVV5U8PW9BAgMmt-nAy2mZYggX5IObHyH0Vd7~oIpGxzKigNl0uoApYDTvaF3h1iPEpoeQnLz~6i4c3jmzw8WnaZx2gx5QD4dgbWXwWmidTJBI6Gw5QiXL4i5aPdlm8kQJWyLN6-aH-vZly60qq5LOKH0NFPmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Village staff used the Sept. 16 meeting to highlight a busy events weekend and upcoming public engagement opportunities.

Nick (village staff) reviewed details for Cary Main Street Fest, saying food trucks and live music will run Friday evening; Saturday programming will run roughly 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. with a family area, vendors and a car show; and Sunday will include a 5K and the farmers market. Staff asked for volunteers and listed orientations on the village website. The village noted the fire department will host a community pancake breakfast on Saturday morning and thanked the Cary Chamber of Commerce staff (named as Kathy and Lynn) for partnering on the event.

Director Simmons provided a scheduling update for the Seasons of Cary project. He said the project had been reviewed by the Zoning and Planning Authority (ZPA) and that the recommendation will be scheduled before the village board in October; staff clarified the item will be scheduled for the board’s October 20 meeting and said the village will notify the neighborhood and update the village website, marquee, mass-message sign-up and Facebook.

Staff also invited residents to a constituent event with State Senator Wilcox scheduled for next Tuesday from 5 to 7 p.m., where Illinois Tollway staff will be available to exchange old transponders for new I-PASS devices. The village said other agencies and project exhibits will also be present.

No formal board action resulted from these staff updates; they were informational.","Staff briefed the board on Cary Main Street Fest volunteer needs and schedule, said the Seasons of Cary project will be before the board in October, and invited residents to a Sept. 23 constituent event with State Sen.

Spizzeri said the group’s volunteers and board — led by its current president (identified in the comment as Adams) — donated more than $7,000 locally in the previous six months, including a $2,000 contribution to National Night Out and about $2,200 to local police departments for honor guard uniforms. He said Crime Stoppers has awarded more than $10,000 in scholarships to Cary Grove High School students over the decades, including $3,000 this spring. The organization’s primary fundraiser is an annual Adams McLeod golf outing, Spizzeri said.

Spizzeri asked board members and residents to help the group by reaching out to business contacts for sponsorships and by searching for the group on Facebook. His remarks were offered as public comment; the board did not take formal action during the comment.

Mayor Kownick thanked Spizzeri and the organizations he represented.","A resident described recent donations, scholarship history and ongoing fundraising needs for Cary Grove Crime Stoppers and asked for volunteer and sponsorship support.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5982219,"Village board approves $10,000 façade grant for Cynthia Ann’s at 17 Janus Road",46,456000,502000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5775505-59e6c9741c539b0c869fe58b83bce1bc&start=456&end=502","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5775505-59e6c9741c539b0c869fe58b83bce1bc/thumbnail_456000.jpg","/articles/5982219/Cary/McHenry-County/Illinois/Village-board-approves-10000-façade-grant-for-Cynthia-Anns-at-17-Janus-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5982219-0c55792c9d7d7a593b700694c39a55ad/orig.mp4?Expires=1771130657&Signature=lEAqF-SARgb3CV9qaChOQLhKSJ9i5ukJx5Ti00FerEZBf9q7hgGy5-cg3k1BLcWXs31ui7YTpNXA1CU8wDJ-YnF8QoUUQMw2gQVFLbyvQlc3r-y31rONWY4Pu8QsOlxKnlugO3pbVncjUzc-u0TGy~RCUbYjzsWU5M9cJNRs~BH0EEGYafU4cAWoChKBLzXiRdp-5JQt7KM8QF3INc-DO9rHtujHEaDrZySITrhXn1f2E9quGjGzCPzn-sbI1aBaQBa12nangNYO7Oeydc1qjsaWVWmzix4P06qE8nj1~17p6ZPb9rjlByPaAf5repgXlCpJ8978oQd-P0wkOjlYiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Cary Village Board voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a $10,000 façade improvement and interior build-out grant to Cynthia Ann’s for renovations at 17 Janus Road. The business already obtained a village building permit for the project, which staff said will total about $150,000.

The grant is part of the village’s façade improvement and interior build-out program and would reimburse the business after the work is complete. Director Simmons told the board the $10,000 grant represents roughly 6% of the project’s estimated cost.

Board members expressed support for the project as a downtown improvement. Trustee Anthony Stefani said he hoped the work would further enhance the village’s entertainment corridor, referencing other downtown additions. After discussion the board approved the resolution by roll call vote; all trustees present voted yes.

Earlier in the meeting the board also approved its consent agenda (items A through E) by roll call and voted to allow Trustee Anthony Stefani to attend remotely for this meeting due to a work commitment. Those motions passed without recorded opposition.

The village staff said grant reimbursement will follow completion and submittal of required documentation; no additional funding or timeline details were provided during the meeting.","The Village of Cary approved a $10,000 façade and interior build-out grant to Cynthia Ann’s to assist roughly $150,000 in storefront renovations at 17 Janus Road; the board also approved routine meeting items and allowed one trustee to attend remotely.","actionData","errors"]
