Plain White T’s has amassed more than 2.7 billion total global streams, earned two Grammy nominations, and collected several Platinum-plus and Gold certifications across their impressive catalog. Their signature single "Hey There Delilah" went quadruple-platinum, topped the Billboard Hot 100, and earned the pair of aforementioned GRAMMY® nominations in 2008 — for "Song of the Year" and "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal."
Septemberfest will wrap up on Monday, Sept. 2 with headliner 7th heaven that takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Known for the famous "30 Songs in 30 Minutes" medley of songs from the 70's and 80's, 7th heaven has been an entertainment staple for 39 years.

CENTEX AREA APPROVED FOR TIF DISTRICT | |
The Schaumburg Village Board recently approved a proposal to designate the Centex Redevelopment Project Area as a new TIF District. The overall goal of this redevelopment project area is to reduce or eliminate conditions that qualify as “conservation areas” for improved parcels, “blighted areas” for unimproved parcels, and to provide the direction and mechanisms necessary to redevelop the Centex Industrial Park as a vibrant industrial and commercial district. This includes revitalizing the 573-acre industrial park through infrastructure and property improvements, strengthening the area's economic and employment base, and enhancing overall quality of life within the project area.
Village staff had been working with consultant SB Friedman over the past nine months to assess the project area and evaluate its eligibility for a TIF District. The report concluded the area is eligible for designation as a “conservation area” for improved land and a “blighted area” for vacant land, per the Illinois Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act. A May 14 Public Hearing was held, followed by formal approval of the TIF District at the May 28 Village Board meeting. For more information on the Centex TIF District, please visit the village's website.

Carts should not be placed in the street. When putting carts out at the curb, handles should be facing the property with the lid opening toward the street. Arrows are marked on the lid of the cart to remind residents which way the cart should face to ensure LRS trucks can easily pick up the carts to dispose of its contents.
