August - Replacement Meeting

Dear GlenEd Citizens,

The August meeting of our group is cancelled, in favor of asking you to attend a very important Village Board workshop.

The Village Board is meeting with the Master Developer, Bruce Holland, of the proposed University Town Center development. This is the development of 900 acres of land in Glen Carbon to be funded through STAR (Sales Tax and Revenue) bonds. The developer will make a presentation and answer questions from Trustees regarding both the development and STAR bond financing.

I encourage all concerned citizens to attend this workshop and learn more about this proposed development. Please join us at 7:00 pm on Wednesday August 5th a the Village Hall. I know I will be there.
