As directed by the Village Board at the February 8th Village Board meeting, the Village is requesting that the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD) approve deferring construction of the Green Alley Project which the Village was awarded a $475,000 grant for as per the Intergovernmental Agreement 19-IGA-14 until 2022 in order to reduce expenditures due to losses in revenues associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
