Last Call For Local Stormwater/Flooding Input In Glenview: Village

GLENVIEW, IL — Since October, the Village of Glenview has been seeking input from residents regarding stormwater issues. Now, officials say a survey regarding the matter is almost complete.

In 2010 the Village approved the Flood Risk Reduction Program, which was the previously approved stormwater master plan. The information gathered from the survey will be used as part of an update to the Village's Stormwater Master Plan.

According to officials, "numerous" local improvements have been completed since the adoption of the program, including:

• Stormwater projects benefitting more than 3,000 parcels, primarily in residential areas – reflecting about 20 percent of the Village’s residential properties;
• More than $40 million of local investment, which included $25 million in outside (grant) funding;
• Seventeen homes were demolished in the floodway, creating eight acres of new local open space adjacent to existing parkland; and,
• More than 400 homeowners participating in cost-sharing project leveraging private funding for local improvements.
