In a recent government meeting, the board expressed unanimous support for a proposed brewpub in the B5 district, marking a significant step for local business development. Trustee Taniya initiated a motion to direct staff and the village attorney to prepare final documents for the approval of Plan Commission 24-009, which includes a variation from the municipal code. The motion received a second from Trustee Baldino, leading to a discussion highlighting the positive impact of local business owners Eric and Heather, who were commended for their contributions to the community.

Trustees Bertucci and Dunnington praised the project, emphasizing its creative approach and the anticipated partnerships with other local businesses. The board members expressed excitement about the artistic elements planned for the brewpub, indicating a strong community interest in supporting the venture.

Following the discussion, the board conducted a roll call vote, with all members voting in favor of the motion. The approval paves the way for the preparation of an ordinance to be presented at a future meeting.

In addition to the brewpub discussion, the meeting included a request from Manager Rekhaas to enter a closed session to discuss various legal matters, including pending litigation and the potential acquisition of real property. The board approved this request unanimously, concluding the public session of the meeting.
