Kenilworth board authorizes Invest in Cook grant submittal for Green Bay Road Phase II design
Summary
The board authorized staff to submit an Invest in Cook grant application for Phase II design engineering of the Green Bay Road project; Manager Thake said Cook County is more likely to fund applications that demonstrate board-level commitment via passed resolutions.
Manager Kathy Thake told trustees recent conversations with Cook County officials had indicated grant applicants who demonstrate long-term commitment through passed resolutions have stronger chances of receiving Invest in Cook funding. She emphasized approval of the resolution authorizes application submittal but does not obligate the Village to complete Phase II if not funded.
Thake said Cook County could approve a portion of requested funds, potentially covering up to 50% of Phase II design engineering costs as a demonstration of support. The board voted unanimously to authorize the submittal and thanked staff for the work preparing the application.
