Ordinance 2025-1216CD1

Navigating Illinois E-Bike and E-Scooter Laws (2025)

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 18:11:57 GMT

Illinois law, including updates in 2018 and 2024, sets a statewide framework for electric bikes (e-bikes) and electric scooters (e-scooters). Riders must follow both state and local rules, and parents or guardians can be held accountable for minors' violations.

E-Bike Laws

Currently, the Village of Sugar Grove complies with state regulations , and there are no additional local ordinances in effect.

E-bike Classifications

In Illinois, e-bikes are generally considered "bicycles" if they are low-speed (motor less than 750 watts) and have fully operable pedals. They fall into three classes:

Class 1: Pedal-assist only, motor cuts off at 20 mph.
Class 2: Pedal and throttle-assist, motor cuts off at 20 mph.
Class 3: Pedal-assist only, motor cuts off at 28 mph.

Key Regulations for E-Bikes

Age: Riders of Class 3 e-bikes must be at least 16 years old. The state has no specific minimum age for Classes 1 and 2, though some local ordinances do.
License/Registration: No special driver's license, registration, or insurance is required by the state for low-speed e-bikes.
Where to Ride: E-bikes are allowed on roads, streets, and bike lanes where traditional bicycles are permitted. Riding e-bikes on sidewalks is prohibited by state law. Using multi-use paths and trails depends on local rules or homeowner’s associations; Class 3 e-bikes are often restricted from these paths unless explicitly allowed.
Equipment: For nighttime riding, a white front light (visible from 500 feet) and a red rear reflector or light are required. E-bikes must also have a label indicating their class, top speed, and motor wattage.
All riders must obey the "Rules of the Road" like any other vehicle operator.

E-Scooter Laws

A state law effective August 9, 2024 ( Public Act 103-0899 ), prohibits the use of low-speed electric scooters on sidewalks unless a local ordinance specifically authorizes them.

Key Regulations for E-Scooters (where permitted locally):

Age: Riders must be at least 18 years old, according to state law.
License: No title, registration, or driver’s license required.
Speed & Location: E-scooters are generally limited to speeds up to a maximum of 10 mph and may not be used on public roads with speed limits of 35 mph or greater (some communities set this limit lower, e.g., 30 mph or 25 mph).
Not permitted on State highways.
Equipment: Must have a working brake, a white front light, and a red rear reflector or light for night use. Only one person is allowed per scooter at a time.
All riders must obey the "Rules of the Road" like any other vehicle operator.

Important Considerations

Off-Highway Vehicles: Any device with a motor over 750 watts, or one without working pedals, is likely classified as an "off-highway vehicle" or "motor-driven cycle" and cannot be operated on public roads, sidewalks, and paths. Operating these requires a driver's license, registration, and insurance.
Safety: While not always required by state law, wearing a helmet is highly encouraged for all riders to prevent serious injury.
All riders must obey the "Rules of the Road" like any other vehicle operator.

For detailed state regulations, consult the Illinois Bicycle Rules of the Road guide from the Secretary of State.

Mayor's Monarch Pledge 2025

tconti@sugargroveil.gov (Tracey Conti) — Wed, 14 May 2025 13:57:16 GMT

Letter from the President

Hello, Sugar Grove Residents,

This year, I have taken the National Wildlife Federation’s Mayor's Monarch Pledge, joining hundreds of other communities across North America that are taking action to protect the imperiled Monarch Butterfly. Special Thanks to the Village of Romeoville Mayor John Noak for posting about this project in 2024 and pledging support again in 2025 for the inspiration. We all benefit when communities inspire and share positive ideas with each other.

�� I would like this to be a Community-Wide Monarch Project where residents can all participate. We have been a very divided community for the last few years, and it is time to come together. I am working diligently to advocate for residents in every way I possibly can. I think resident pollinator gardens are a symbol of hope and peace and will bring our community together again. There will be a Resolution on the agenda of the May 20th Village Board meeting to approve and restart the Beautification Committee, which will include the Monarch Project under its umbrella. More information, and an invitation for volunteers will be coming soon.

�� We will have numbered garden markers available for every participating pollinator garden. A pollinator garden can be as simple as a few pollinator plants in a pot outside. We can then celebrate as a community how many pollinator gardens have been added to the Village and how many residents have united for a project representing peace, hope, and change.
We also anticipate and encourage the involvement of scout troops and student groups for this project. Please feel free to email me if you are interested or have any ideas. Also, please feel free to email me with a photo if you are a resident who has planted a pollinator garden of any size, and we will add you to the list for a garden marker! SStillwell@sugargroveil.gov

�� Illinois pollinator plants that would be excellent for pollinator gardens and have beautiful flowers include New England Aster, Butterfly Weed, Stiff Goldenrod, Aromatic Aster, Echinacea, Pale Purple Coneflower, Coreopsis, Common Mountain Mint, Purple Prairie Clover, and many more.

�� There are several local businesses we would like to highlight that are a fantastic resource for pollinator plants:

Spring Bluff Nursery in Sugar Grove has pollinator plants available for purchase.
Wild Ones Greater Kane County has a Native Plant Sale Saturday, May 17th, 2025.
Rosewood Farm provides gardening classes and will likely celebrate Pollinator Week in June.

We look forward to supporting all of our local businesses in this project, and if you have a local business or would like to partner in some way, please feel free to email me at sstillwell@sugargroveil.gov.

�� Happy Planting, Sugar Grove!

Village President, Sue Stillwell

Between Friends Food Pantry of Sugar Grove

The Village of Sugar Grove is committed to supporting the local organizations that strengthen our community. As part of this effort, Village leadership is visiting nonprofits that serve our residents to learn more about their impact, challenges, and how we can support their mission.

This month, Village President Jennifer Konen and Village Administrator Scott Koeppel met with Between Friends Food Pantry of Sugar Grove Executive Director Shari Frieders to discuss how the pantry is helping Sugar Grove residents and what the community can do to contribute to their efforts.

Between Friends Food Pantry of Sugar Grove started in 2008 as a family project. During Christmas break, the Taylor family of Sugar Grove launched a “Fill Your Doorstep” campaign, encouraging residents and businesses to place food donations on their doorsteps to help those struggling in the economic recession. The overwhelming response led to the creation of a permanent, community-driven pantry.

With support from Engineering Enterprises Inc. (EEI) and its founders Pete Wallers, Dave Burroughs, and Jim Michels, the pantry found a home. In February 2025, it moved into a larger facility at 143 S. Main St., Sugar Grove, IL 60554, allowing it to serve even more residents.

Today, Between Friends Food Pantry provides weekly grocery assistance, household supplies, and personal hygiene products to residents facing food insecurity in Sugar Grove and surrounding communities. They aim to break the barriers that prevent individuals from seeking help, fostering a safe space where every person feels valued and supported. Their mission is to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry while empowering people to remain self-sufficient during tough economic times.

The pantry currently has 210 families registered for assistance. Each week, it serves 30 to 50 families, with 98% of those receiving help living in Sugar Grove. It also provides deliveries to elderly and homebound residents, including those in senior housing. Children and seniors make up 75% of those served, highlighting the vital role the pantry plays in the community.

Between Friends Food Pantry operates almost entirely on volunteer support. The Executive Director and all other staff members are volunteers, with just one paid employee helping coordinate operations.

Addressing Food Insecurity & Expanding Awareness

During their meeting, Village officials and pantry leadership discussed strategies to raise residents’ awareness about the pantry as well as encourage them to feel comfortable using it when needed. Many families experience food insecurity but may hesitate to seek assistance due to stigma or simply not knowing it exists.

The reality is that many people are just one unexpected bill away from needing help. Every meal provided by the pantry allows a household to focus on paying rent, medical bills, and other essential expenses without worrying about food.

If you or someone you know could use assistance, you can register for help here: Register for Help.

How the Pantry Meets Demand

Between Friends Food Pantry of Sugar Grove relies on strong community partnerships and generous donations to meet local needs. Through the Direct Connect food rescue program—coordinated by the Northern Illinois Food Bank—the pantry receives fresh food donations from local Jewel-Osco and Aldi stores. Between Friends also benefits from food drives organized by local classrooms, scout troops, and other civic organizations that help keep shelves stocked throughout the year.

While specific offerings can vary, they typically provide the following types of items:

Canned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, soups, and other shelf-stable foods.
Fresh produce
Dairy products
Proteins
Bread and bakery products
Hygiene and personal care items.
Low-sodium, gluten-free, or diabetic-friendly products when available.
Diapers and other items for young children.
Cleaning supplies and laundry detergent.

In addition to weekly food assistance, they also deliver to homebound seniors, produce emergency food boxes, prepare holiday meal boxes, and offer school supplies.

Ways to Support Between Friends Food Pantry of Sugar Grove

Residents and businesses can support Between Friends in several ways:

Donate. Every $1 donated provides $8 in food for local families.
Volunteer. Help stock shelves, assist visitors, or organize food drives. Sign up online: Volunteer Here.
Spread the Word. Let friends, neighbors, and coworkers know this resource is available.

Statement of Clarification Concerning the Annexation of the Crown Property and a Possible Referendum

Wed, 18 Sep 2024 18:07:07 GMT

It appears that misconceptions have arisen regarding the recent annexation of the Crown property. Because this information has been posted directly to the Village’s Facebook page by one or more members of the public, the Village believes it is necessary to provide clarification.

Specifically, members of the community have apparently been advised or are under the perception that by circulating a petition and obtaining a certain number of signatures, the Crown annexation will be placed on a ballot for referendum. However, the annexation of the Crown property was a voluntary annexation, which means that 100% of the property’s ownership sought annexation and the Owner and the Village mutually agreed upon the annexation. There are no electors residing on the annexed property. The section of the Municipal Code governing a voluntary annexation does not provide for a referendum; that is a process reserved for other types of annexations contained in the Municipal Code and which are not applicable here.

Without anything actually having been filed, it is difficult to provide any further assessment. However, to reiterate, the Village does not believe that the Municipal Code provides any legal basis for a referendum in the case of a voluntary annexation.

Scam Alert

Wed, 17 Jul 2024 01:19:56 GMT

Storm chasers are responsible for a big portion of residential roofing and siding scams. Homeowners should be aware that some storm chasers only do the bare minimum to replace the house siding and/or roof. Some don’t properly address other problems or restore the roof or siding to its original condition.

Many times, homeowners are left with poorly constructed roofs or unsecured residential siding, and the fraudulent company that was once so ready to help, has vanished.

Sugar Grove requests that residents do their due diligence if damage occurred to your residence. Contact your insurance company for guidance as they will have relationships with existing adjusters/contractors that perform the work. Several companies flood the areas affected after a major storm passes through our community. Sugar Grove allows individuals and companies to apply for a solicitors permit to go door to door offering their goods and services. These individuals are not endorsed by the Village of Sugar Grove and are allowed to solicit in jurisdictions per court case rulings.

Just a reminder that building permits are required prior to re-roofing, re-siding and most other structural type repairs or improvements on your home. Contractors are required by Ordinance to be registered with the Village of Sugar Grove prior to performing any work. Please feel free to contact the Building Department for a list of registered contractors for the type of work that is needed on your home at 630-391-7220. Building permit information is available on our website at: https://www.sugargroveil.gov/permit-forms . Village of Sugar Grove Community Development is ready to expedite permits for needed repairs to occur. All door-to-door solicitors must have a solicitors permit from our Police Department prior to soliciting within the Village

Here are some sample industry guidelines to follow:

The best way to avoid the storm chaser is to do your own research. Ask to see proof of insurance and check the roofer’s license status with your local building department or licensing agency.

Be wary of contractors who go door to door to offer repair services. Ask for recommendations from people you know and trust and, whenever possible, use established local contractors.
Call the Attorney General’s Consumer Fraud Hotline 1-800-386-5438 to check out a contractor and to learn if any complaints have been filed against a particular business.
Visit the Better Business Bureau’s central Illinois, St. Louis or Chicago websites to see if a business is a member and whether any complaints have been lodged against it.
Even if there is a need to act quickly, shop around. Get written estimates from multiple contractors, and don’t be rushed into a deal.
Get all of the terms of a contract in writing and obtain a copy of the signed contract.
Never make full payment until all the work has been completed to your satisfaction.
Never pay in cash.
Be aware that you have the right to cancel a contract within three business days if you signed it based on the contractor’s visit to your home.
In the case of disaster repair, you have an additional right to cancel. If your insurance carrier denies coverage, you have the right to cancel the contract within five days of when your insurance carrier denies your coverage.
Ask to see required state and local permits and licenses. Insurance adjusters and roofers must be licensed by state agencies. If the contractor does not have a required license, or if the name on the license doesn’t match the name on the contractor’s business card or truck, that should raise a red flag. Please visit the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation’s website to search licenses. Contact the Department of Insurance at (866) 445-5364 to verify that the public adjuster is licensed and in good standing.

Enjoying the Outdoors: Updated Burning Regulations in Sugar Grove

Thu, 27 Jun 2024 15:41:11 GMT

The Village of Sugar Grove is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all residents. We have recently updated our open burning regulations and strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with the important changes outlined below.

Leaf Disposal Services are Available

As a reminder to our residents: The Village of Sugar Grove provides a free leaf pick-up service through our waste collection company, LRS, from April 1st to November 30th. This service is especially important due to the new ordinance prohibiting leaf burning and open burns. Please remember to place your leaves in biodegradable bags or labeled garbage cans at the curb. There is no limit to the number of bags you can dispose of, and no stickers are required. We encourage residents to take advantage of this service.

Updated Open Burning Ordinance

Beginning in April of 2024, the Village’s ordinance prohibits burning leaves for community health and safety. However, other forms of open burning are allowed under certain conditions.

Guidelines for Open Fires

What Can You Burn? Only untreated wood, using an approved, self-contained outdoor wood-burning device or structure. The fire size must not exceed 3'x3'.
Banned Materials: Do not burn leaves, paper, cardboard, grass, garden trash, treated materials, rags, garbage, or similar materials.
Permit Required:
For prairie restoration, a state-licensed company must adhere to state statutes and obtain a permit from the Sugar Grove Fire Department.

For festive or ceremonial fires, any fire over 3 feet requires a permit from the Sugar Grove Police Department.

Allowed hours include 10 am—10 pm Sunday through Thursday and 10 am—12 am Friday through Saturday.

For more information, please contact the Community Development Department at 630-391-7220.

Thank you for adhering to these guidelines and helping the Village maintain the health and safety of our community.

STATE OF THE VILLAGE 2024

The sold-out breakfast was moderated by Jonathan Meagher, Vice Chairman of the Sugar Grove EDC and General Manager of Rich Harvest Farms.

Key highlights and accomplishments include:

Celebrating Success: President Konen showcased notable wins from the past 12 months, including a historic 0% property tax increase, the arrival of new dining destinations like Burnt Barrel and Primos Tacos, strategic staff additions, advancements in the Commercial Property Enhancement Program, and collaborative efforts to bolster public safety like the placement of a new school resource officer at Harter Middle School.
Growing Opportunities: The Village is moving closer toward its vision of being a community where residents can get everything they need right here, with new additions like Starbucks, Cold Stone Creamery, and Cilantro Taco Grill coming soon.
Driving Force: Sugar Grove’s driving force for the future is Connection, which includes linking residents with businesses, collaborating across governmental bodies, supporting education and recreation, fostering non-profit partnerships, nurturing community connections, organizing community events, and recognizing the power of collective impact over individual efforts.
Investments in Infrastructure : Updates on new infrastructure projects in the community, including a new pedestrian bridge and crosswalk at IL Route 30 to enhance connectivity and safety within the Village.
Updates on Crown Community Development: President Konen also shared more about the Village's ongoing work with Crown Community Development, emphasizing that it’s more than new restaurants, shopping, and opportunities to gather; it's about economic stability, diversifying our tax base, attracting even more businesses, and enhancing support for essential community services.

Residents and stakeholders are encouraged to continue visiting sugargroveil.gov for the latest community updates.

Safety Improvements Advancing for Park Avenue and IL 47 Crossing

Wed, 07 Feb 2024 17:13:08 GMT

For Immediate Release:

February 7, 2024

Sugar Grove, IL - The Village of Sugar Grove's Village Board advanced recommendations to enhance intersection safety and traffic flow at Park Avenue and IL 47 by submitting their recommendations to IDOT.

“With these long-awaited safety improvements, this project makes this area safer for everyone on the roads,” said Village of Sugar Grove President Jennifer Konen. “We are happy to see these improvements moving forward at this busy intersection and we remain committed to evaluating and advocating for increased safety on our roadways.”

The recommended improvements include measures such as prohibiting through movements across IL 47 and left turns from Park Avenue, installing raised medians or islands on Park Avenue, and enhancing signage and pavement markings to encourage safer driving behavior. These proposed changes aim to improve safety and traffic flow by reducing certain high-risk movements while encouraging more controlled and safe driving behavior.

The recommendations stem from a Traffic Study conducted by HRGreen, which studied the history of serious crashes at the intersection and determined most crashes involve vehicles from Park Avenue crossing or turning left onto IL 47. It found the heavy traffic volumes and high speeds on IL 47 make entry gaps infrequent, causing driver frustration, which can lead to unsafe decisions. This also creates long delays on Park Avenue, causing congestion and poor traffic conditions.

Should IDOT approve the recommendations, the project’s next phase would involve the preparation of detailed engineering to support a construction permit. Given that IL 47 is a State Highway, the project will require a permit from IDOT's Bureau of Traffic. The estimated budget for engineering and construction is approximately $235,000. For more information on the plan and HRGReen’s study, visit our website www.sugargroveil.gov.

Speed Limit Changed on a portion of Galena Blvd to 50MPH

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 14:43:00 GMT

New 50MPH zone on Galena Blvd.

Speed Limit Reduced on Section of Galena Blvd in Sugar Grove

The Village of Sugar Grove and the Sugar Grove Police Department would like to inform the community that the speed limit on Galena Blvd from Capitol Drive to just east of Densmore Rd has been reduced to 50 mph by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to enhance road safety in this area.

After conducting a comprehensive traffic study, IDOT has decided to reduce the speed limit from 55 mph to 50 mph near the Windsor Pointe subdivision. This change was made to enhance road safety within our community.

One of the measures the Sugar Grove Police Department has implemented to educate drivers on this reduction is the deployment of a speed trailer. This trailer serves as a visible reminder of the new speed limit and offers real-time feedback to drivers about their current speed. It plays a crucial role in our efforts to ensure safer roads in our community and educate drivers about the importance of adhering to the new speed limit. Residents can also expect the Sugar Grove Police Department to continue monitoring the new speed limit through visible presence and enforcement.

We encourage all residents and visitors to collaborate with us in making our community safer for everyone by following the new speed limit. Together, we can create a safer and more responsible driving environment for everyone in Sugar Grove.

Sugar Grove Approves 2024 Property Tax Levy Plan with Zero Property Tax Increase

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 01:31:24 GMT

Village Prioritizes Financial Responsibility, Maintains Tax Levy, Supports Quality Services for Residents

Sugar Grove, IL – The Village of Sugar Grove's Village Board unanimously approved a 2024 property tax levy plan committed to no property tax increases for residents.

“Thanks to diligent budget management, financial planning, and revenue from other sources, Sugar Grove can keep property taxes the same for our residents. This marks the first time in the past 25 years that we have achieved a zero percent levy increase for our existing residents,” said Sugar Grove Village President Jennifer Konen.

The Village of Sugar Grove Board gave its stamp of approval to this fiscally responsible property tax levy plan for Tax Year 2024 during a Village Board Meeting held on Tuesday, December 5, 2023. Notably, this plan approved a 2% property tax increase, only to capture property taxes on New Construction. There is no Village property tax increase for its existing residents.

The proposed property tax levy for the upcoming year in Sugar Grove stands at $1,973,246. These funds will support essential functions that ensure the well-being of our community through police protection, insurance coverage, pension contributions, audits, street lighting, and administrative operations. This proposed levy excludes $846,813 in bond principal and interest, which the board recommended be abated, signifying that homeowners may not be required to contribute property taxes specifically for covering these bond-related expenses.

The 2% increase overall is strategically targeted at capturing additional revenue from new construction within the Village that has occurred over the past year. This approach allows the Village to strengthen its finances through new construction revenue without burdening existing homeowners with higher property taxes.

Sugar Grove Declares $250,000 in TIF Surplus, Boost to Local Services

Tue, 07 Nov 2023 23:02:58 GMT

Fiscal Responsibility and Economic Development Leads to 4th Consecutive Year of TIF Surplus

Sugar Grove, IL – The Village of Sugar Grove today announced its approval to declare a surplus of $250,000 in Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds. These surplus funds will be reinvested within the community by allocating them to the taxing districts within the Village's two existing TIF Districts.

“Marking the fourth consecutive year of returning surplus TIF funds, this decision reaffirms Sugar Grove’s commitment to responsible fiscal management and economic development. Tax Increment Financing, or TIF, is a powerful tool that municipalities employ to drive economic growth. In Sugar Grove, our TIF districts are performing well, consistently running surpluses. As a result, we are directing the surplus towards other services that could immediately benefit, such as our schools and public safety services,” explained Village Board President Jennifer Konen.

The surplus declaration follows a comprehensive assessment by the Village Board, which includes a detailed examination of fund balances, plans for each TIF district, alignment with economic development objectives, and community needs. Notably, over the past four years, approximately $1.5 million has been designated as surplus and returned to taxing bodies, further emphasizing the Village's dedication to responsible fiscal practices and collaborative community support.

As of FY22-23, current fund balances stand at $439,698 for TIF #1 and $277,219 for TIF #2. Projections for property taxes in FY23-24 indicate substantial growth, with anticipated balances of approximately $880,295 for TIF #1 and $529,271 for TIF #2.

TIF #1, with a focus on stimulating economic growth in the commercial and industrial area near the intersection of Dugan Road and US 30 on the west side of the Aurora Municipal Airport, currently has no immediate infrastructure projects planned. The Village Board has approved a surplus allocation of $200,000 from TIF #1 to make these funds accessible to other taxing bodies with pressing needs.

TIF #2 was established to bring sanitary sewer and water services and various public infrastructure improvements to the commercial and industrial area on the east side of the Aurora Municipal Airport along Municipal Drive, between Wheeler Road and US 30. While no immediate projects or development opportunities are planned, the Village Board has approved a surplus allocation of $50,000 from TIF #2 to ensure these funds are accessible to other taxing bodies with immediate needs.

How TIFs Work

Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a financial tool that local governments like the Village of Sugar Grove use to encourage economic development in specific areas. TIFs help businesses invest in communities by covering the costs of upgrades, such as remediation and enhancements that may otherwise prevent development.

TIFs do not increase property tax rates for residents. They function by designating a particular geographic area as a TIF district. As property values within these districts rise, the additional property tax revenue generated, referred to as the "increment," is harnessed. Subsequently, this increment is reinvested within the same area to fund various improvements and development projects.

It is worth noting that taxes collected from properties outside the TIF district remain dedicated to supporting regular community services. This ensures that property taxes for all other residents remain unaffected, with local schools and other taxing bodies continuing to receive their designated share of property taxes, or even potentially more, based on property values before the establishment of TIF districts.

TIFs benefit communities like Sugar Grove in the following ways:

• Financing vital development projects, including infrastructure improvements and environmental remediation.

• Stimulating economic growth and job opportunities.

• Fostering a dynamic business environment.

• Enhancing property values and broadening the tax base.

• Generating more revenue for funding essential services and community improvements.

All Public Hearings for “The Grove” Redevelopment Project will occur in 2024

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 00:45:00 GMT

For Immediate Release:

October 17, 2023

Sugar Grove, IL – The Village of Sugar Grove recognizes the significant community interest and discussion regarding the proposed redevelopment project, commonly known as "The Grove," along with the associated Tax Increment Financing (TIF) plan. While the developer's formal proposal is expected later this year, no formal plan has been presented yet. To allow for increased public engagement of the development proposal, annexation, and the accompanying TIF proposal, Sugar Grove has opted to postpone public hearings until after the holidays.

“Our priority is to strike the right balance, ensuring both the economic stability of our residents and enhanced quality of life for our community. The Village Board has consistently emphasized that any proposal under consideration must align with our community’s objectives, including a substantial reduction in distribution compared to previous plans. We are committed to a thorough assessment of the proposal's impact, aiming for long-term financial stability while fostering a welcoming environment for new businesses, restaurants, shops, and entertainment,” said Sugar Grove Village President Jennifer Konen.

As the Village Board and staff actively collaborate with the developer, they have identified critical principles in guiding the pursuit of a balanced plan.

· Enhanced Quality of Life: The plan must prioritize residents’ well-being by offering an approach that elevates the overall quality of life in Sugar Grove. This includes introducing amenities like restaurants, shopping, and parks while contributing to homeowners' property tax relief.

· Vibrant Local Business Environment: To benefit local businesses, the plan should bring more people to Sugar Grove’s shops and encourage the use of local services. Attracting new residents and visitors during the day is essential as it aligns with the criteria that new businesses seek when considering investments in our community.

· Strengthening Community Services: The plan must be thoughtfully crafted to enhance the local economy, create jobs, and generate revenue for essential public services, including education and public safety.

Sugar Grove has faced limited population growth compared to neighboring communities over the past decade, making attracting new businesses and investments challenging. This has increased the burden on residents to support essential public services, including public safety, infrastructure, and education. Through the consideration of this redevelopment project, the Village aims to promote economic stability, diversify the tax base, add new businesses, and enhance community support.

After the developer’s proposal is received, the Village will communicate a schedule for public hearings and plans to engage the community and gather feedback. This process includes online and print notices, mailings to stakeholders, public access to the plan, a public hearing with the Joint Review Board, and a final board meeting. These steps ensure transparency and inclusivity, remaining central throughout the evaluation and decision-making process.

Community involvement remains a top priority for the Village. Residents are encouraged to stay informed, attend Village board meetings, reach out to board members, and stay updated with Village communications regarding the project. The Village is committed to transparency and will post official documents and information about “The Grove” project at: https://www.sugargroveil.gov/sugar-grove-llc-development-information .

Village Emergency Back-Up Well #2 Notice

Thu, 15 Jun 2023 18:42:02 GMT

Well #2 (TP01) is an emergency back up well and this well is only pumped for IEPA sampling. Well #2 is a very low volume producing well (~400 gpm) and it’s not practical for the Village to use this well as a first choice for an emergency backup supply. When the Village pumps Well #2 each month, the village pumps the water directly to waste and the water does not go into the distribution system. All of the Village’s shallow wells have been designated as backups for sampling purposes. These shallow wells typically exhibit elevated levels of manganese, and the Village has regularly been testing for manganese.

On May 22, 2023 the Village of Sugar Grove received a letter from the IEPA for a Violation notice for exceeding the maximum contaminant level for manganese based on samples taken from our Well #2 (TP01). While the IEPA required that all water customers be notified by letter of the test results, there is no risk to the Village’s drinking water supply . The well is only an emergency back-up and has not been used since 2003.

The Village is considering our options to address the elevated manganese level at this well, including installing additional filters, an ion-exchange system, and/or complete abandonment of the well. We anticipate resolving the problem within the year.

For more information, please contact Chris Lemke at 630-391-7230 or 601 Heartland Drive, Sugar Grove IL 60554.
