Village Board Approves $1.9 Million Street Resurfacing Investment for 2022
At the most recent Lake Zurich Village Board meeting on March 21st, Trustees unanimously approved a large road resurfacing program, which will direct a years' worth of the local half-cent Non-Home Rule Sales tax, or $1.9 million, directly into Lake Zurich neighborhood streets.
The local half-penny Non-Home Rule Sales Tax generates about $2 million in a typical year in Lake Zurich. Roughly 50% of that is generated by non-residents, people who live outside of Lake Zurich but shop retail here.
The 2022 road resurfacing program will cover all of the streets in the Braemar subdivision, plus June Terrace & Rosehall Drive in Concord Village behind Costco. The selected contractor this year is Peter Baker and Son Company of Lake Bluff.
The scope of work includes pavement resurfacing, concrete repair, and utility infrastructure repair. Upon completion of the program, the roads should have an estimated service life of 15-20 years.
Construction is expected to begin by the end of April with scheduled completion by the end of August.
Further road construction notices will be forthcoming to all residents along impacted streets in the coming days.
