There are a couple of public information and input opportunities this week. There is a focus group meeting tonight – Thursday, May 15 – from 5 to 7 p.m. at Village Hall to provide a progress report in an open house-type forum. Meanwhile, there will be another chance for public engagement from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, May 16, in front of the property known commonly as the Prospect Mall, 4615 N. Prospect Rd. Consultants will have a table set up on the sidewalk with information about the project.
Last year the Heights Village Board retained the services of Farr Associates, a Chicago-based architectural and design firm, to bring the Village’s zoning code up to date at a cost of $124,200, which was covered in full by a state grant secured through the office of state Sen. David Koehler. The Heights’ existing zoning code has not been comprehensively updated since the 1970s.
