engineering ahead of the ITEP grant cycle, in January 2020. After a drawn out process, that
Phase I engineering was approved in May 2024.
In anticipation of Phase I approval, the Village solicited Requests for Qualifications, and
reviewed submittals from three firms. In November 2023, an engineering agreement with

agreement with Terra.
