5 REASONS TO VOTE YES! ON APRIL 4 Public libraries are the critical backbone of healthy communities. – The library is the heart of our community, and a place where imagination grows, and education thrives. – The library provided access to information and resources that might otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable. – The library is a safe space for self-study, learning, and socializing. – The library provides a unique opportunity to explore and learn from different cultures around the world. – The library is great places to discover new hobbies or interests. Vote YES on April 4 for our library! ABOUT THE COMMITTEE The Sugar Grove Library Yes Committee was established to provide facts and garner support for a yes vote in the April 4, 2023, general election. It is comprised of community members from all walks of life who dearly love the library and the people we share it with. The Sugar Grove Public Library District encompasses not only Sugar Grove, but parts of Montgomery, Elburn, Yorkville, and North Aurora, including over 16,000 individuals. The library is the heart of our community, and a place where imagination grows, and education thrives. The library though has bills, maintenance, and operation costs, just as we do in our own homes. We are committed to helping our neighbors and friends understand more about the referendum and why it is so vital to get those 'YES' votes. Many futures are made within the walls of a library, let's bring future imagination to life and vote YES on April 4th. ABOUT THE REFERENDUM The Sugar Grove Public Library District Board of Trustees voted to place a Zero Tax Rate Increase Referendum question on the April 4, 2023, ballot. Building bonds (think mortgage) issued to construct the library will be paid off in 2024, saving the district close to $1,000,000.00. The library will ask voters to approve taking money currently applied to bond payments and in turn using it for operating costs (materials, programs, and maintenance of buildings). The referendum question will ask for an increase in the operating fund limiting rate. The rate of the bond will be reduced by the same amount. This will result in no net increase to your tax rate. If voters choose "Yes", the tax rate will remain the same. If voters choose "No", the tax rate will be reduced. Neither option will increase the tax rate. LEARN MORE

REVISED PLAN CALLS FOR NEW TOWN CENTER, MULTIPLE HOUSING OPTIONS, MIXED-USE GROVE PARK AND MORE SUGAR GROVE—Chicagoland-based real estate developer Crown Community Development has announced its proposal for The Grove , a 760-acre master-planned community located 45 miles west of Chicago in Sugar Grove, Ill., at the interchange of Interstate 88 and Route 47. The vision for The Grove incorporates several proposed live, work and play components, including a vibrant town center; multiple residential neighborhoods with housing for all ages – from single-family homes to apartments; at least 200 acres of open space, including community parks and trails; and areas for retail, restaurants, community services, healthcare and e-commerce distribution or a data center. At the heart of the proposed plan for The Grove is a welcoming town center, which would be thoughtfully designed to promote community engagement, recreation and serve as an ideal location for a future village hall. “After careful planning and listening to the residents of Sugar Grove, Crown Community Development is excited to share our new proposal for The Grove, which is very different from the plan submitted in 2019,” said Teri Frankiewicz, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Crown Community Development. “We are starting with a fresh slate and will begin community engagement meetings this spring. We’re looking forward to hearing from residents as we come together to create a thoughtful development where people are eager to live, work and gather, putting Sugar Grove on the path for smart, future growth.” Proposed neighborhood amenities, intended to benefit all residents of Sugar Grove and the surrounding area, range from a tree-covered trail system with walking and biking trails to preserved green spaces featuring community events and outdoor gathering areas, as well as a dog park, playground, area for food trucks and a farmer's market. Named for the lush, mature trees that can be found throughout the area, The Grove aims to offer a wide range of housing options with designs that fit diverse lifestyles, including both for-sale and for-rent homes from award-winning regional and national builders. Residents could choose from traditional single-family homes, spacious townhomes, active adult homes and stylish apartments, all designed as a haven for modern living. The current plan for The Grove would position the town center, community green space and residential neighborhoods on the land parcel south of Interstate 88, along with a smaller live/work district – Grove Park – on the land parcel north of the interchange. Grove Park could feature a variety of land uses, including healthcare, business suites, retail, restaurants, multifamily housing, distribution, data center, and other services that provide job opportunities and benefit the Sugar Grove community.
