PUBLIC MEETING

Millburn Bypass Alternatives

 

The Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) cordially invites all interested persons to attend an Open House Public Meeting concerning the Phase I Study for US Route 45 from IL Route 132 to IL Route 173.  This Public Meeting is specifically focused on the finalist alternatives being considered for the Millburn Bypass within the Villages of Lindenhurst and Old Mill Creek in Lake County.  The meeting is scheduled for the following date:

 

                        Date:                                     Thursday, September 2, 2010

                        Time:                                    4:00 PM to 7:00 PM

                        Location:                             Millburn West Public School

                                                                        640 Freedom Way

                                                                        Lindenhurst, IL 60046

 

The purpose of this meeting is to present the overall bypass alternatives development and screening process since the first meeting, to seek public input on the remaining finalist alternatives, and to describe the Community Advisory Group (CAG) process which was an integral part of the alternatives development and screening process.

 

The meeting will be conducted on an informal, open house basis, meaning interested persons can attend at any time from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM that is convenient.  Exhibits will be on display and representatives from LCDOT, IDOT, and the consultants will be present to receive input, provide information, and answer questions.

 

Written comments regarding the project may be completed at the public meeting or mailed to the below address no later than September 13, 2010.

 Antioch's Fall Arts & Craft Faire

September 11th-12th

Downtown Antioch

 

Antioch's Fall Arts and Craft Faire will be held the Saturday and Sunday, September 11th and 12th in Downtown Antioch. This popular annual Faire brings 125+ crafters and artisans from around the country to Antioch's Downtown. Browsers enjoying the Faire will notice an emphasis on the Fall and Winter Holidays. This is the perfect opportunity to come to Downtown Antioch and begin your holiday shopping, plus pick up those holiday decorations for your home!Art&Craft

 

The new location of the AC Faire proves popular. Both Shoppers and Crafters alike enjoyed the new layout and location of the Faire, which is held on Toft Street and in the large municipal parking lot on Toft. This new location for Antioch's Fall AC Faire serves as a centralized "Downtown" site that allows Shoppers to walk through our authentic Downtown as they approach the Faire.
