The pandemic that created so many hardships in 2020 is far from behind us, but with vaccines already being distributed to millions and the calendar turning to a new year, there’s reason for optimism as we begin 2021. We asked mayors and village presidents in the Northwest suburbs what they hope to see their communities accomplish in the year ahead.
Barrington Hills, Martin McLaughlin
The village is currently testing the use of cameras to create a “virtual gated community,” which if approved, will be implemented in 2021.
Barrington, Karen Darch
Next year, we are looking forward to leading the community “back to normal” after the pandemic and beginning work on our Route 14 Metra access project as well as engineering work on the Route 14 underpass.*
South Barrington, Paula McCombie
In 2021, we are looking forward to working on an increase in development and new business, as well as the completion of our serenity garden in our Village Conservancy.
The plans of Hoffman Estates, Inverness, Lake Barrington and others can be viewed here.
* We were wondering what ever happened with the, “Curious Questions with Karen Darch,” podcasts?
The first (and only) podcast was in February, and we think she should reactivate it given current events (District 220, for example), since the first one was so stimulating!
