On the Southeast corner of Bacon and Townline Road the village purchased a 39 acre parcel a few years ago to house this 34,000 square foot structure that will be our new police and public works department buildings later this year. The project has had a few snags but its on track right now and I know both departments can't wait until they get into their new home. The village board made sure that this facility is expandable so it can meet future growth needs for the village.
The old police station will become the new village building department and the village engineers. The old public works facility will go away and become more parking for Metra. Our guess is we will add 80 spots depending on the configuration. This will bring us close to 400 spots around the station. That's an increase of 120 spots in 3 years, we aim to add more over time as well, with our transit oriented development program.
