Board approves $23,600 to build developer entrance road while TIF eligibility is checked

Trustees voted to authorize roughly $23,600 to build an entrance road to a development parcel to provide immediate access while staff confirms whether the work can be paid from TIF funds. The board discussed the trade-off between waiting for TIF approval and constructing a base road now so the developer and site work can progress; staff advised the board it would revisit funding if the work proves TIF-eligible.

A village representative described the recommended technique (core out and recycled asphalt base) and the estimated cost. "We're looking at the project cost that you got with $23,600 to get the road 200 foot back in there like we asked before," a staff member said. Trustees approved moving forward with the entrance road funding and asked staff to confirm TIF eligibility with Moran before additional TIF-dependent work begins.
