Arlington-Higgins TIF
Redevelopment Plan and Project

Notice of Public Hearing Date
 

Pursuant to the Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Act (65 ILCS 5/Art. 11 Div. 74.4), the Village of Elk Grove (“Village”) is considering adopting the Arlington-Higgins Redevelopment Plan and Project and designating the Arlington-Higgins Redevelopment Project Area in order to remove certain conditions that, without intervention, will lead to blight within the Project Area and have a negative impact on the Village’s and the other taxing districts’ tax base and the overall health, welfare and safety of the Village.  A legal description of the boundaries and a general street description of the proposed Arlington-Higgins Redevelopment Project Area is attached.   

The Act allows for the Village to use tax increment financing (“TIF”) to freeze the equalized assessed value within the Area and to pay for certain improvements (“Improvements”).   The Village can then use the increase in the equalized assessed value over and above the original base to defray the costs of the Improvements.  The Village believes that adopting TIF will result in an increase of the assessed value within the Project Area, which will alleviate potentially blighting conditions and protect the Village’s tax base.

On May 10, 2022 at 6:45 PM, the Village will hold a public hearing on the Plan at the Village Hall, 901 Wellington, Elk Grove, IL 60007.  All interested parties will be given the opportunity to comment on the Plan.  Written comments may also be submitted in writing prior to the hearing.  Comments should be addressed to the Office of the Village Clerk, 901 Wellington, Elk Grove, IL 60007. If you have any questions, please contact the Clerk’s office at (847) 357-4040 between the hours of 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
