More Development & Higher Taxes

For current taxpayers ,according to the 10/1/07 issue of the Glenview Watch which said “The village may also increase its home rule sales tax from one-half of one percent to three-quarters of one percent, and the trustees may vote to raise property taxes by 4 percent per year for five years.” ,we are looking at steep increases.

On the development side the village is pursuing plans to develop more land at the Glen, the Downtown, the Milwaukee Ave. Corridor and adding new land west of the tollway (Culligan).

The village wants to do all this without adding a burden to the schools so they are pushing "development light" strategies that add condominiums and townhouses which they believe will be inhabited by empty nesters and families with little or no children
