At the Nov. 22, 2021 meeting the Village Board agreed to seek a DCEO Main Streets and Downtown Corridors grant for Slove Park, appointed Michael Collins to the Board of Police Commissioners, approved routine minutes and $297,765.87 in bills, and heard staff updates on stormwater and police recruitment.

The Lindenhurst Village Board reached consensus to apply for the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) Main Streets and Downtown Corridors grant to support a Slove Park redevelopment concept presented by Teska Associates. The board noted the maximum grant award for a project is $3 million and directed staff to proceed with the grant application.
