Pictured above (L-R) Attorney J. Vasselli, Village of South Barrington; K. Saunders, Executive Director BACOG; K. Darch, Village President, Barrington; Representative Marty McLaughlin; Mayor P. McCombie; R. Alberding, Barrington Township Supervisor.

“Last week, I had the privilege of meeting with our area State Representatives and State Senator as part of outreach through BACOG (Barrington Area Council of Governments).  South Barrington is a member of BACOG, which facilitated an in-person meeting with Representative Martin Mclaughlin and State Senator Darby Hills and a Zoom meeting with Representative Nabeela Syed.
We met as a group of leaders to express some of our priorities which are:

1. Protecting Local Government Revenues regarding pensions, unfunded mandates, and a return of local revenue;

2. Supporting Regional Public Transit to reflect the interests of residents across the region, and strengthening the RTA to achieve regional cooperation, and ensuring local government officials have a voice on transit governing boards and safeguarding local control over local development decisions;

3. Respecting and empowering local elected decision makers by expanding permitted use of Township general assistance funds to meet communities’ needs and reconsidering solar legislation to provide local governments with greater oversight and conditional control of solar farms within their respective jurisdictional planning areas.

We also asked them not to support several bills being worked on, one of which would contradict our zoning ordinances and provide a right to build a muti-unit building on a lot within a single-family neighborhood. We believe zoning decisions should stay within local municipalities, and we conveyed this position to our state officials.” (Posted 4.25.25)

Thank you Mayor McCombie.

By | Daily Herald

After nearly a year of negotiations with Compasspoint Development, Barrington is nearing a redevelopment agreement for a mixed-use project within the village’s “Golden Triangle.”

Village staff presented the draft of a “pay-as-you-go” tax increment financing deal worth $17 million before the village board Monday. Trustees are expected to continue the discussion Monday and could reach a final vote April 28.

Developer Joe Taylor III said he is ready to start construction the day after the vote.

Compasspoint plans to redevelop the former site of the Market Center building and a Volvo dealership at 200-300 N. Hough St. The $90 million project includes a four-story building, the Mylo, with 125 residential units and approximately 12,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space — Taylor said he is negotiating a high-end restaurant lease for 6,000 square feet.

It will also include the MotorCave Auto Suites, a place for car enthusiasts to keep and display their vehicles.

The arrangement ties into the village’s plans to build Park Avenue Plaza, a community gathering space and al fresco dining spot. Taylor said he has agreed to build the plaza on Park Avenue between Cook and Station streets with his own funds.

Changes at the top: Meet the new mayors of the North and Northwest suburbs

Posted in BACOG, Daily Herald on April 5, 2025| Leave a Comment »

By Christopher Placek | Daily Herald

New mayors and village presidents were elected across the Northwest suburbs and Lake County last week — some in hard-fought contests, and others in unopposed elections after longtime incumbents decided not to run again.

Here’s a look at who they are and what they hope to accomplish.

Mike Moran was elected mayor of Barrington. | Joe Lewnard/jlewnard@dailyherald.com

Trustee Mike Moran ran unopposed in April to succeed five-term Mayor Karen Darch.

Moran, president of Moran Transportation Co., said his first 100 days will be spent gathering input from staff, community members and local businesses on how to improve the village.

“We need to be aggressive in finding retailers and restaurants that want to come to the village of Barrington, and we need to give the community a reason to come support those local businesses,” he said.

Coming from a business background, Moran said he wants to build momentum in the village by evaluating and leveraging economic development tools to expand upon current successful initiatives.

“Karen has proven to be an exceptional leader during her two plus decades in office. Through her commitment to building a strong community, I am fortunate to lead a village driven by sound management practices, fiscal responsibility and citizen engagement.”

But he said there are a lot of opportunities for economic development, especially in the downtown region and along the Route 14 corridor.

Moran described Barrington as the quintessential community where everyone wants to raise their family.

“My goal is trying to build a town with greater community or neighbor involvement, one in which we continue to invest in necessary infrastructure projects, and one in which we build a more vibrant downtown,” he said.
