ping Tom Sherman re Hillquist
The Kane County Chronicle had an article about this project. The developer,
citing the tanking economy isn't going ahead with an upscale restaurant on the property. The city of Geneva wants the developed to repay over $66,800 of TIF money that was advanced for the project. I hope whomever granted the financing isn't going to have to hold his/her breath until the money is back in the city's tax coffers. The money is gone! Without a building to sell/lease where is the contractor getting it from? It was used to pay wages and rentals on the demolition equp. All that's left is an eyesore along the FRT. I'm guessing there are three chances for repayment...slim, fat and none. gotbent, aka FRT rider...a taxpayer reaching for the jar of vaseline |

It would at least be nice if the Fox Valley Park District got an easement to remove the tight corner from the Fox Valley Trail. -- Tom Sherman - 42.435731,-83.985007 LOCAL CACTUS EATS CYCLIST - datakoll |
