The village will have a new mayor in 2025, and the expected top contenders have been positive about the project.
Arlington Heights Mayor Thomas Hayes speaks during a Village Board meeting on March 7, 2022 in Arlington Heights. Two potential top contenders for the job of next mayor of Arlington Heights are expected to continue support for a new Chicago Bears stadium if plans ensure the the project will work out well for the village.
The mayor thinks the Bears officials will decide by then whether to go forward with building a new stadium in Arlington Heights or Chicago. But Warren said a dispute over a few million dollars with local school districts over property taxes for the site were a “non-starter,” and switched focus to seeking, with taxpayers coming up with $900 million. With interest on loans to build the project, the stadium cost would near $4.8 billion, plus up to $1.5 billion for related infrastructure, including road improvements.
The position is supposed to be part time, with a salary of $8,500, but Hayes says it’s been almost like another full-time job on top of his role as asbestos litigation trial attorney for McKenna Storer.
