TO: Village Board Meeting
FROM: Jason Berry, Community Development
THROUGH: George Schafer, Village Administrator
SUBJECT: An Ordinance of the Village of Lemont, Cook, Will and DuPage Counties,
Illinois, Designating the Main & Maley Redevelopment Project Area
Pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act
DATE: February 23, 2026
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND
The Village of Lemont is proposing the creation of a new Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
District to assist in the redevelopment and modernization of an aging industrial area located
near Main Street and Maley Road. The proposed redevelopment project area includes
industrial and vacant properties that meet statutory eligibility criteria under the Tax Increment
Allocation Redevelopment Act.
ANALYSIS
Following the required public hearing and Joint Review Board process, the Village has
determined that the Main & Maley area qualifies in part as a Conservation Area and in part as
a Blighted Vacant Area. The designation ordinance formally establishes the redevelopment
project area boundary and sets the initial equalized assessed value year in accordance with
the Act. The proposed TIF designation is consistent with the Village's adopted strategic
planning and long-range land use policies.
Consistency with Village Policy
Lemont 2030 Comprehensive Plan
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the attached ordinance.
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED
