Tim Perry the Mayor of Grayslake and I have taken the steps of asking all taxing bodies in Lake County to pass the following resolution in support of the 120 bypass in preparation for the upcoming transportation summit here in Lake County. We sent a letter signed by both of us explaining our feelings and including the resolution below for them to pass. We have received overwhelming support as resolution after resolution has been passed and been mailed to our offices.
We believe that a result of the upcoming transportation summit will be the united front from municipalities, the county and state officials to make the 120 bypass the number one issue for the county to get accomplished in the next few years.
