Fox River Grove board reviews 10-year capital-improvement plan, defers road-resurfacing decision
Summary
At its Nov. 15, 2023 meeting the Fox River Grove Village Board reviewed a 10-year Capital Improvement Plan covering roads, water mains, vehicles, parks and major assets; the board deferred a decision on resurfacing eight streets, agreed property owners would generally pay for private lead-service-line replacements, and directed higher police-pension contributions.
Fox River Grove — The Village of Fox River Grove Board of Trustees reviewed its 2023 Capital Improvement Plan at a Nov. 15 meeting and chose to delay a decision on a multi-year road-resurfacing schedule while moving forward on several other capital priorities.
Administrator Soderholm presented an overview of the village’s capital funds, a 10-year CIP and specific program recommendations for roads, water-main replacement, vehicle and major-asset replacements, parks improvements, and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) candidates. The Board reviewed staff’s 20-year road-resurfacing schedule and the eight streets identified for resurfacing: Bridle Path Lane & Court, Morgan Lane, Saddle Lane, Grace Lane, Grove Avenue, South River Road, and the section of County Line Road from Route 22 to North Road. Trustee Steve Knar proposed deferring the resurfacing program to build a balance for potential future economic-development needs; the Board deferred further action on resurfacing and asked staff to return with a recommendation at a later date.
