PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Wolf stated that he would like to ask the Board to consider that what they can and what they cannot achieve. They cannot make the Village perfect, nor is Sugar Grove ever going to be able to bring in something like Wrigley Field. Even if this Board turns down Crown, some other town will take it and it probably will not turn out as nice as Sugar Grove could do it. Elburn won’t care, it will be to far south – out of site, out of mind. Elburn is excited about the interchange and the economic development it could bring to them. Crown it is not going away. One way or another they are coming. He stated he respect people for sticking to their word, but caution them to think about what they want Sugar Grove to do. He urged them to get the best deal for Sugar Grove. He urged the Board to use their professional staff, use the tolls they have. Use TIF as a tool. Don’t be worrying about other entities. If the focus is for another entity, that that is the Board that “you” should be sitting on. The Village Board represents the village of Sugar Grove. He told story of when he was on the School Board and was asked to back to teachers’ union, but he held to what he sworn to do in his elected capacity, represent the School District. Know your place and honor who you represent.
An Audience member asked what was going on with Crown. Administrator Eichelberger stated that there have been some back and forth conversations with staff and that the Board members will be meeting later this month (individually) with Crown officials.
