The board approved Farnsworth’s 11500 proposal to conduct a topographic survey on farmland west of the Village Hall for the purpose of future subdivision. This commits the village to preliminary site survey work, indicating intent to explore developing that land into a subdivision, though specific development plans or partners have not been identified yet. For vendors, while the survey work itself is already awarded to Farnsworth, the project signals early-stage planning for a future residential or mixed-use subdivision.This creates future opportunities for planners, civil engineers, developers, utilities contractors, and housing-related services to help the village move from raw land and survey data to a concept plan, infrastructure design, and eventual construction once the subdivision concept is defined and funded.

Survey is limited to topographic work but explicitly tied to exploring a future subdivision on village-owned farmland west of Village Hall.

Public Updates

Hitech Hospitality requested a 12.5-foot waiver from the 45-foot maximum building height to build a hotel at 2914 E 32nd St. This was a variance case, so the city was reviewing land-use approval rather than buying a service. The signal matters because the hotel project could drive future construction, design, and site work once approvals are complete.

Public Updates

Built by BL LLC requested a 20-foot waiver from the 25-foot rear setback for a single-family home at 827 S Empire Ave. The item was a variance hearing, not a procurement award. It is still useful because it points to a private residential build that may lead to design, construction, and site-related spending after approval.
