Shorewood board adopts 2026–27 budget; capital timing consolidated for Route 52 utility project
Summary
The Shorewood Village Board approved the fiscal year 2026–27 budget that begins April 1, keeping overall spending unchanged while consolidating a utilities capital project under Route 52 into a single phase. Finance Director Anne Burkholder fielded trustee questions on park engineering and staffing timing.
The Village Board of Shorewood approved its 2026–27 budget on March 10, 2026. Finance Director Anne Burkholder presented the spending plan, saying it "remains largely unchanged from our budget workshop, which occurred a few weeks back," and confirmed the budget will take effect April 1.
Burkholder told trustees the main difference from the workshop was a timing change to a capital utilities project under the Route 52 railroad crossing: rather than split that work into two phases, the village is proposing to take the project on as a single phase with no change in total cost. A trustee asked about a Buckingham Park line in the capital fund; Burkholder said the budget currently includes engineering only (feasibility), not construction funds, and any contract over $10,000 would return to the board for additional review. The board approved the budget by unanimous roll call.
