  • Village of Algonquin Annual Budget: FY 16/17
    Annual Budget May 1, 2016 - April 30, 2017 Adopted April 5, 2016 A Glimpse into Algonquin’s History… The Village of Algonquin was settled in 1834 with the arrival of Samuel Gillian, the first settler in McHenry County. Other early settlers were Dr. Cornish, Dr. Plumleigh, Eli Henderson, Alex Dawson, and William Jackson. The Village changed names several times in the early days; the names included Cornish Ferry, Cornishville, and Osceola. The name Algonquin was finally selected in 1847 as a suggestion from Samuel Edwards as a namesake for a ship he once owned. The Village was incorporated in 1890 and witnessed both commercial and recreational trade. Algonquin was a favorite vacation spot for residents of Chicago. Nestled in the foothills of the Fox River Valley, Algonquin became known as the “Gem of the Fox River Valley.” The first Village Hall was constructed in 1906 at 2 South Main Street and throughout the years housed fire protection, library, and school services for the community as well as accommodating the municipal offices. The building served as Village Hall until the new Village Hall was completed in 1996. The original building is now called Historic Village Hall and serves as a community facility and meeting location. A highlight in Algonquin’s history was the period from 1906 to 1913, when the Algonquin Hill Climbs were held. The event was one of the earliest organized auto racing events held in the United States. Algonquin had a population of about 600 residents at that time and the annual hill climbs would bring crowds in excess of 25,000 to the Village.

Main Street - Lombard April 16, 2018 Cover Letter April 16, 2018 William J. Heniff, AICP Director of Community Development Village of Lombard 255 E. Wilson Avenue Lombard, Illinois 60148 RE: Village of Lombard Request for Development Proposal The site at 101-9 South Main has special resonance for our Lombard-led team. We love Lombard! Our team is committed to creating a new environment that promotes prosperity, health, and well-being for every Lombard resident. This site’s central location gives it the unique potential to become a destination uniting both sides of the tracks and bringing together residents from all walks of life. In short, this site offers THE BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY to strengthen our community fabric that our town has seen this century. To capitalize on this opportunity Luxica has assembled a first-tier team and prepared a plan that we believe meets the high bar we have set for ourselves. Our proposed plan, every aspect of it, strengthens the bonds of community through collaboration, sociability, walkability, and sustainability. To do this we have channeled the spirit of PFC— the fulfillment of the dreams of hundreds of Lombardians—who organized a cooperative grocer, owned and operated for the benefit of local residents. The plan’s centerpiece is a Public Market: a social catalyst and the new home for the Prairie Food Co-op. This same facility includes a restaurant and craft brewery, both led by Lombard residents, who along with PFC are exclusively committed to our team’s proposal.
