OLD BUSINESS
Status Update
Mr. Cooney provided a general overview of the development projects in the Village. He stated that several
new restaurants including Culver's, Buffalo Wild Wings and Le Peep, had recently opened or would soon be
opening. He stated that St. John's School on Linneman Road was up for sale and that MitroffDevelopment
Group had the property under contract and was proposing a 70-unit townhome development. Mr. Cooney also
provided a brief overview of some of the ongoing construction projects including the Harris Bank, Parkway
Bank and the Celtic Glen Subdivision.
Downtown Redevelopment Status
Mr. Cooney stated that the Village Board recently heard presentations from four different developers forthe
sub-area three site on Emerson Street. He said the Village Board would be deciding on a preferred developer
in the next few weeks and that they hoped to see construction begin by early 2005. He also stated that
Norwood Builders had obtained final approval for the former Village Hall site for a five-floor mixed-use
development. He stated that the old Village Hall would be demolished in December and construction of the
new building would begin shortly thereafter.
CornEd Business Retention Proeram
Mr. Cooney stated that due to the lack of potential interviewers, the Kensington Business Center Retention
Program was rescheduled to February 3rd. He said he chose that date because it was a regularly scheduled
Economic Development Commission meeting date and he hoped it would work with everyone's calendar. He
stated that the goal was to form as many as ten 2-member interview teams that would consist of Commission
members, Village Board members and Chamber of Commerce representatives. The visits would take place
between 9:00 and noon on February 3rd and results of the visits would be tabulated by CornED when
completed.
NEW BUSINESS
There was no New Business.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Chairman Kurtz informed the Commission that he had submitted his letter of resignation to Mayor Farley
effective immediately. He stated that, while he has thoroughly enjoyed his time on the Economic Development
Commission and feels that the Commission has had many successes, he felt that now it is appropriate at this
time to step down. He indicated that he would certainly maintain his involvement with the Chamber and with
the Downtown Redevelopment efforts ongoing over the next several years. Commission members thanked Mr.
