Title
Resolution authorizing the execution of an Eighth Amendment to the Agreement for Sewage Disposal between Lake County and the North Shore Sanitary District.
Staff Summary
· Gurnee School District #56 purchased approximately 70.8 acres in Wadsworth, IL and is proposing to construct a new grade school for approximately 600 students on the site on Wadsworth Road east of Delany Road.
· This development will allow for the demolition of the existing Gurnee Grade School at 940 Kilbourne Road, which is below the 100-Year Base Flood Elevation of the Des Plaines River.
