Pre-RFPCapital ProjectsDetected Jun 22, 2026

The June 22, 2026 agenda includes an executive session under 5 ILCS 120/2(c)(5) specifically to discuss the use or purchase of real property for the Washington Park District. This implies the District is actively evaluating options to acquire land or repurpose existing real estate for public use, such as new parks, recreation facilities, or program space. Any potential action on items discussed in executive session is listed as a subsequent agenda item, suggesting that decisions to proceed could follow soon after.For vendors in planning, design, real estate advisory, environmental, and construction services, this is an early signal that the District may move into feasibility, due diligence, and ultimately capital project development. Establishing relationships now around site evaluation, conceptual planning, or funding strategies could position a seller for future procurements tied to whatever property decision emerges.

Discussion is in closed session due to the sensitive nature of real property acquisition; details on parcels or intended uses are not public yet.

Budget Planning

Line item 10-480.7910 ROADS shows a 2026-2027 DEP REQUEST and PROPOSED amount of $1.5 million, but the 2026-2027 FINAL column is $0. Even though it was not included in the final adopted first-reading budget, the line documents a significant streets capital concept under consideration. That makes it a valid early signal for roadway construction, engineering, and paving vendors.

Active Opportunity

At its October 1, 2026 meeting, the board scheduled a public hearing on a special use permit for Frank and Patricia Fortebuono to add apartments in an existing farm structure at 245 Berry Lane, Staunton. The request is still pending the board vote. This is a private property change, but it can signal future site work, trades, and related development activity if the permit is granted.

Budget Planning

Line item 10-470.7900 BLDG ADDITION & RENOVATIO... carries a 2026-2027 DEP REQUEST of $1.6 million for fire facility work, although the 2026-2027 FINAL column is $0. This means the large renovation was considered during budget development but not funded in the adopted first-reading budget. The unfunded request is still relevant as a future capital project signal if funding is revisited.
