Road Construction UpdateRoadContructionUpdate
 
Lake County is going to be doing re-surfacing of sections of Deerfield Road east of the Des Plaines river in Riverwoods.
 
The start date is now uncertain due to the current laborer's strike. There will be construction Monday-Friday from 9:00-3:00. There may be periodic lane closures, but Lake County will have electronic message boards up ahead of time to let motorist know what is taking place.
 
Also, a bike path is part of the planned work, and that will have impact on traffic. Construction of a bike bridge over the Des Plaines river will require the road to be closed for a 4-day period sometime in October.

Tax Free School Supplies - August 6 until August 15
 
Legislation has been enacted to create an annual state sales tax holiday for clothing and school supplies. Local and home rule sales taxes will still apply to all items.
From August 6 until August 15, residents will be able to purchase back-to-school items and only pay local sales tax. The five percent that typically goes to the state will be waived for these nine days.Books
 
Traditional school supplies such as paper, notebooks, writing instruments and other office-type materials will be subject to the sales tax break.
 
The tax holiday also applies to clothing items under $100 such as shoes, tops, bottoms, underwear and outerwear. Some specific items like school uniforms and limited athletic apparel are also on the approved list of sales tax holiday items.
I hope you are able to take advantage of this opportunity.
