The Mundelein Board of Trustees made significant strides in community development during their meeting on July 14, 2025, approving multiple resolutions aimed at enhancing local infrastructure and public services.

A key decision was the approval of a resolution for TIF-eligible redevelopment costs for the D R 4 in Court, Midwest project, allocating $2.84 million for the redevelopment of the Oak Creek area. This investment is expected to stimulate economic growth and improve the overall appeal of the neighborhood.

In addition, the board awarded a professional services agreement for stormwater improvements on Wellington Avenue, with a budget of $27,345. Trustee Weinberg highlighted the necessity of this project, noting recent heavy rains that caused significant flooding in the area. The improvements aim to enhance drainage and reduce future flooding risks.

The board also approved several purchase orders for public works and emergency services vehicles, including a $255,451.34 order for public works vehicles and a $336,955 order for an ambulance. These purchases are part of the village's ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading essential services for residents.

Trustee Lambert, who led many of the motions, emphasized that all expenditures are budgeted, ensuring fiscal responsibility while addressing community needs. The board's actions reflect a proactive approach to infrastructure and public safety, setting the stage for continued improvements in Mundelein.

As these projects move forward, residents can expect enhanced services and infrastructure that will contribute to a safer and more vibrant community.
