Glencoe Officials Worry About Historic Water Plant's Possible Demolition

The following is from the Village of Glencoe:

At the June 3rd Historic Preservation Commission meeting, Village President 
Larry Levin was in attendance at the invitation of Commissioners to discuss 
recent events in the Village, including the water plant, 724 Vernon Avenue, 
and general communications between the Village Board and Historic 
Preservation Commission.

Commissioners shared their concern about the possible demolition of historically and architecturally significant buildings within the Village, particularly the water treatment plant and the Village Board’s unsuccessful effort to purchase 724 Vernon for potential redevelopment.

Village President Levin expounded on the water treatment plant and why the Village Board was exploring multiple options for its future. He also shared the Village Board’s position in pursuing the 724 Vernon property. Commissioners expressed their willingness to be part of the review and decision-making process related to the water treatment plant.

President Levin recognized the efforts of the Commission and thanked all members for their service to the Village.
