Board approves subrecipient agreement with North Chicago for Sheridan Crossing remediation
Summary
County officials approved a subrecipient agreement with the City of North Chicago to address environmental remediation at the Sheridan Crossing property, advancing a long-discussed redevelopment site.
The Lake County Board voted to approve a subrecipient agreement with the City of North Chicago for environmental remediation work at the Sheridan Crossing property. Member Paul Frank moved the resolution and the board approved it on Aug. 12. Frank thanked Deputy County Administrator Matt Myers for leading the project and said moving the project to the City of North Chicago for management required coordination and legal review; the county will provide subrecipient oversight. Frank described Sheridan Crossing as a long-standing economic-development opportunity that has required environmental cleanup. The agreement delegates remediation work to the city with county oversight and funding; Frank said the change will speed remediation and remove a barrier to redevelopment in an area the city has pursued for decades. County staff noted the agreement resolves administrative issues that previously delayed transferring management authority from the county to the city. The resolution passed without amendment; staff will execute the subrecipient agreement and monitor remediation progress with the city.
