It's decision time for voters to settle mayoral races in Elgin, Naperville and Oak Brook twill
Suburban voters will go to the polls Tuesday to decide who should run some of the region's biggest towns.
Dixon argues the city should take a more aggressive role in business recruitment. He would focus on creating an entertainment hub and adding more dining options in downtown Elgin. Dixon, 40, works for the Kane County Sheriff's Office as an administrator. Some of the biggest contributions to Dixon's campaign last month included $11,500 from the Realtors Political Action Committee, $1,500 from Steven Hovany, a housing consultant, and $1,000 each from the IBEW Illinois PAC and Maybach International Group, a logistics company, state filings show.
The redevelopment of McDonald's former corporate campus looms large. Ace Hardware has signed a lease to move its corporate headquarters into the old McDonald's executive building. A portion of the heavily wooded site is zoned for residential.
As Oak Brook faces an aging population, Herman is receptive to one type of housing on the campus: empty nester. The candidates also have pledged to do all they can to keep Oak Brook in a select group of Illinois communities that do not levy a municipal property tax. The village instead relies almost entirely on sales tax revenue from the Oak Brook Center mall and other commercial properties to pay for municipal operations.
