Tawney Grove Housing Development Receives Unanimous Approval, Construction to Begin This Fall
The board unanimously approved Ordinance 3942, finalizing the Tawney Grove development. This project includes the granting of a special use permit and approval of planned development regulations for the property at 600 East Elk Grove Boulevard. Construction, including land development, is slated to begin this fall, with individual home construction following, and anticipated deliveries by the third quarter of next year. The project has garnered significant interest, with 30 pre-qualified individuals already registered for the drawing, and has been contacted by other municipalities interested in the concept. The development features high-quality construction, including nine-foot first-floor ceilings and Bosch appliances. The planning commission previously recommended approval unanimously, with minor changes to backyard and side yard sizes. The developer, Nicholas & Companies, has been praised for their work and partnership with the village staff, who have also been exceptional throughout the process. The project is seen as a unique and successful model, with other municipalities reaching out to replicate the concept.
Elk Grove Village Celebrates 70th Anniversary with Concerts, Fireworks, and Historical Broadcasts
The village is celebrating its 70th anniversary with a series of events. Upcoming attractions include a concert by Foreigner and a large fireworks display on Friday as part of Rotary Fest, featuring a carnival and food vendors. Fitz and the Tantrums will perform on Thursday night, also as part of Rotary Fest. The village also dedicated its cemetery on July 4th and hosted a concert by Jake Owen with unique fireworks. In recognition of the anniversary, Elk Grove TV (EGTV) is broadcasting curated archive programming throughout July, featuring historical community events, concerts, and milestones. The Tanner Grove project, which aims to provide attainable housing, has generated significant excitement and media attention from outlets like Homes.com, Bloomberg News, and various local TV channels.
VFW Relocation to Town Center Approved, New Signage to Follow
The board reviewed and approved several items on the consent agenda, including Item J, which pertains to the VFW's new location signage and associated approvals. The VFW is relocating from its long-standing Devon Avenue premises to the town center. The new location is situated adjacent to Dollar Tree and Planet Fitness, offering a new home with improved amenities, including a grass area for flags and a patio. This move is driven by the membership's aging demographic and a favorable offer for their previous property. The relocation is expected to enable the VFW to enhance its services to veterans. The board is set to approve the new signage for the VFW's location.
Elk Grove Business Park Maintains Top 10 Ranking for Fifth Consecutive Year
The Elk Grove Business Park, recognized as the largest in North America, has been ranked among the top 10 in the country for five consecutive years. This year, it achieved the third position, having previously been ranked number one twice and third twice. This consistent high ranking is attributed to its phenomenal performance, which enables the village to fund essential services like police, fire, public works, and administration. The business park's success is highlighted as unprecedented and crucial for maintaining the village's high standards and services.
Affordable Senior Housing Approved, New Commercial Developments and VFW Relocation Advance
The Housing Opportunity Development Corporation (HODC) received state approval to build affordable rental senior housing at the former Dr. Riggs location. Financing is expected to be secured within the next six months, with construction commencing thereafter and completion anticipated in about a year and a half. This project aims to provide needed affordable housing for seniors in the community. Additionally, two new commercial developments, Culver's and Dutch Brothers Coffee, are proceeding to the Planning Commission, with construction expected to begin this fall or early winter. The VFW is relocating to the town center, taking over a new location that will include a patio area and green space, allowing them to expand their services to veterans. This move follows the VFW accepting a favorable offer for their previous property on Devon Avenue.
