Contract Awarded to Houseal Lavigne | |
On March 3rd, the Village Board of Trustees awarded Houseal Lavigne the contract for the Lake Street Corridor TIF Master Plan after a unanimous selection by the Committee of the Whole on February 17.
Houseal Lavigne's process will take approximately four months and includes the following:
-
Project Kick-off & Plan Visioning - To "kick-off" the planning process on the right foot, meetings will be conducted with Village staff and elected officials before any design work begins. This step will also include field work and development of the Draft Planning Influences Memo.
-
Sketch Plan Options (Public Engagement) - Houseal Lavigne will develop three distinct sketch plan options to explore a range of land use and design approaches with varying development intensities and configurations. These options will help Village staff, Village Board, property owners, and the community evaluate potential redevelopment opportunities for the Study Area.
-
Financial Feasibility Analysis - Houseal Lavigne will prepare a financial feasibility analysis for the Master Plan that will inform recommendations prepared during Steps 2 and 4. Local real estate market conditions, challenging site conditions, zoning constraints, and conditions of the larger capital markets can all influence the financial feasibility of new development. The purpose of the financial feasibility analysis, or "gap" analysis, is to estimate the level of developer assistance that may be necessary to implement the Master Plan.
-
Draft & Final Master Plan - Houseal Lavigne will prepare the draft and final Master Plan based on feedback from Village staff, Village Board, and the community.

Working alongside Cory Plasch of CP2 Consulting, the committee recently held a 2-day kickoff workshop. Their mission? To build the specific initiatives that will help achieve key targets across five strategic pillars: Financial Sustainability, Future Ready Workforce, Future Focused Development, Quality of Life, and Preserving Critical Infrastructure.
