Summary
Trustee Council announced a Jan. 28 town hall and said the village will seek voter approval to issue $10 million in bonds on the March ballot to fund road resurfacing, drainage and other infrastructure without increasing the village portion of property taxes.
La Grange Park trustees announced a town‑hall meeting on Jan. 28 to present details about a proposed $10 million road bond referendum that would appear on the March ballot.
Trustee Council, speaking for the administration committee, said the referendum “seeks voter approval to issue $10,000,000 in bonds to continue funding the village's road improvement program over the next decade without increasing the village portion of property taxes.” The town hall will be held at Village Hall at 6 p.m. and is intended to educate residents and answer questions.
The village says the new bonds would replace expiring 2016 road and fire‑equipment bonds and finance street resurfacing, drainage improvements and other infrastructure projects. Officials directed residents to the village website for more information and nomination forms related to concurrent community notices, such as Arbor Day recognition.
No formal vote on the referendum occurred at the board meeting; trustees scheduled the public information session to solicit resident questions before the March ballot decision.
