Burr Ridge authorizes up to $200,000 for comprehensive plan consultant to prioritize CNH subarea

The Burr Ridge board authorized the village administrator to enter into a planning‑services contract, with spending authority up to $200,000, to support a comprehensive plan update that will prioritize the CNH subarea.

Janine, speaking for the comprehensive plan update committee, said the committee interviewed three shortlisted consultants on Nov. 19 and recommended the firm transcribed in the record as "Hausea Levine" of Chicago. Janine said the firm would prioritize the CNH subarea first and that the committee expects initial work to begin in early December and complete the prioritized subarea work by roughly March 2026.

Janine said the anticipated contract amount is expected to be around $190,000 to $197,000 and asked the board for up to $200,000 in spending authority. The mayor framed the request in historical context and noted CNH is a large property (the record references 110 acres).

After brief discussion and a motion, the board approved authorization for the village administrator to enter the contract with spending authority up to $200,000; the roll call vote was recorded as 5–0 in favor.

Note on transcription: the consultant name appears in the record with varying spellings ("Househill Levine Laverne?", "Hausea Levine,") and the board recorded the firm as located in Chicago; the article reflects the transcript but flags the name as transcribed and subject to confirmation in the written contract.
