IV. DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT UPDATE
During 1999, the Village made substantial progress in assembling properties for downtown
redevelopment. There was also substantial progress in completing previously approved projects in
the downtown such as the Clocktower third building. As such, 1999 can be viewed as a year in which
plans and the preliminary process of downtown redevelopment was completed so that the construction
phase of redevelopment may take place in the year 2000 and the next several years. The pace of
activity in the downtown will soon increase with the coming of the construction season. This discussion
is intended update the Village Board on the various projects that have previously been discussed and
to advise the Board on any outstanding issues that they should be aware of.
Community Development Director Bill Cooney has provided a detailed summary of the various
properties in the downtown regarding current development and potential development. All properties
discussed are within the TIF District. It is clear from the summary provided that this is an exciting time
in Mount Prospect with redevelopment aggressively moving forward.
The discussion this evening is intended to provide a general overview of the various projects underway
and contemplated in the next several years and is intended for information purposes only and requires
no action by the Village Board.
V.CORRIDOR DESIGN GUIDELINE UPDATE
The Village Board approved a contract for consultant services with Wolff Clements and Associates in
1999 for Corridor Design options for the Village Board. During that discussion in which the contract
was approved, numerous Village Board members requested regular updates and the opportunity to
provide some insight on possible corridor development proposals. Some preliminary work has been
completed including creation of base maps, site analysis, site photography, potential program elements
and input from Plan Commission members.

corridor image/identity enhancement solutions and design themes can be openly discussed and
considered. The input and data from this meeting will be utilized for the next phase of the project which
