A study by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning showed a need for such a lot, and the McHenry County Division of Transportation received a $1 million grant to design and construct it, the article stated. The Lake in the Hills Village Board is expected to vote on the project at its meeting Thursday, Jan. 10. If approved, construction will start this summer, the Herald reports.
