How Should Libertyville Residents Vote on the Brainerd Question?

The referendum is only a couple weeks away.

Libertyville residents, you have two more weeks to decide how you feel about the proposal to renovate the historic Brainerd building. 

On March 18, residents will get to formally cast their votes in a referendum that could result in the issuance of $11.5 million in bonds—and a 21.84 percent increase in the village's tax rate—to renovate the Brainerd building. Monday's meeting was a way to educate people about the proposal and for the village board, which is not taking an official stance on the referendum, to hear residents' opinions.
