SUBJECT: An Ordinance Fixing A Time And Place For The Public Hearing On The
Proposed Village Of Lemont Main & Maley Redevelopment Project Area
DATE: December 8, 2025
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND
In August of 2025 the Village Board approved a consulting agreement with Ryan, LLC to study
several properties along the Main Street corridor near Maley Road and the surrounding
industrial area. The area has been a key topic serving as a gateway to the downtown with
heavy industrial and other transportation type uses occupying many of the properties. Blight
and other factors may be preventing many of the areas from redeveloping into higher value
opportunities which could benefit from tax increment financing and/or other incentives if they
were deemed eligible. A three phase study commenced in August including the preparation
of an eligibility report, a redevelopment plan and financial analysis for the potential district. The
first formal step post is the setting a date for a public hearing, see attached. The public
hearing would be at the February 9, 2026th Village Board Meeting.
There are many steps to forming a TIF district, including the public hearing to take place on
February 9th, the Joint Review Board Meeting, and additional meetings. The most outward
benefit (of a TIF district, if it were to qualify) would be that it promotes meaningful
development as it would give the Village a mechanism by which it can provide economic
incentives to developers to responsibly develop properties within the TIF and raise property
values of the areas in and around the district. Some or all of the properties in this area are
hindered by either contamination, flood plain, lack of utilities, lack of platting or other hurdles to
development. Any incentives considered for projects would have to be negotiated and
approved by the Board via redevelopment agreement, and only for TIF eligible costs approved
by the Board.
