Overview
Overview
In 2014 the Village and the Cook County Forest Preserve entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement for the use of fifteen (15) parking spaces in the Holley Court Parking Garage in exchange for storage facilities to help the Public Works Department with salt, excess snow and storm debris storage at the Forest Preserve Maintenance Facility.
