Article Summary: The Park District Board approved several intergovernmental and service agreements, including a deal to install electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The board also authorized contracts for accessibility compliance and utility easement access.

Infrastructure and Agreements Key Points:

  • EV Charging: The board approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Finance Authority for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

  • Accessibility Compliance: A resolution was passed to execute an agreement with WT Group AEC, LLC for accessibility practices.

  • Utility Easements: Agreements were approved with Comcast for work at 901 Country Creek Drive and 520 S. Cedar Road.

The New Lenox Community Park District Board of Commissioners on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, moved forward with infrastructure upgrades by approving a series of agreements aimed at modernization and accessibility.

The board unanimously passed Resolution #25-14, an intergovernmental agreement with the Illinois Finance Authority concerning electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Commissioner Dale Larson reported that this agreement is a crucial step toward installing charging stations. “Once this is complete, we can schedule the installation with the state vendor and apply for grants to help offset the costs,” Larson said.

In a move to ensure compliance with accessibility standards, the board adopted Resolution #25-15, authorizing an agreement with WT Group AEC, LLC.

Additionally, the commissioners approved two resolutions granting Comcast access for work at specific district properties: 901 Country Creek Drive and 520 S. Cedar Road.
