Management plan calls for identification, treatment and removal to combat ash tree pest in Libertyville.
Libertyville village staff and parks and recreation committee members are devising a plan to control the Emerald Ash Borer found in Libertyville in 2010.

It will tell us a lot about the trees, so we’ll know how to budget or put aside money to do some of these treatment programs,” said Parks Superintendent Jim Barlow after Sept. 6 Parks and Recreation meeting.

With an aging building and under-utilized facilities, committee looks at options to sell, move, or renovate Bolander.
Village officials are discussing what to do with the Bolander Building and property on Winchester Road. The building needs capital improvements that may not be justified with the property's low usage level, said Village Administrator Kevin Bowens. “We wanted to touch base and make sure we’re on the right track with where we’re going with this,” Bowens said during the Parks and Recreation Committee meeting Tuesday. The property could be sold for between $1.8 million to $2 million, and there has been interest in developing it as a multifamily residential property, according to Bowens. The committee, however, was concerned about where to transition staff, programs and equipments that are housed on the property. “Directionally it makes sense…
