Vice District Brewing is asking the board for a 12-month extension of its business incentive funding benefits. Last year, the board approved $100,000 to help the craft brewer acquire and build out a brewery and taproom at 18029 Dixie Highway.
The brewery experienced a number of delays, especially in the addition of a higher capacity water line that will involve excavaction of Dixie Highway. The brewery is awaiting approval from the Illinois Department of Transportation to begin the work.
The board will also consider a request from Fratello’s Cafe and Deli for a sign variance at the company’s second Homewood location, 17929 Halsted St.
In other business, the board will consider several personnel changes at the Homewood Police Department:
- Sgt. Dave Tobin is retiring
- Lawrence Garrett will take the oath of office as a new officer
- Jack Lenox will be promoted to sergeant
The board will also approve the reappointments of Pamela Lau, Terry Keigher, Marcia Nicholson and Craig Schmidt to the Economic Development Committee.
