The Village of Algonquin, IL

August 2023 Update:  The Village of Algonquin has received grant funding through the ComEd Green Region program to complete a naturalization project of the Wynnfield stormwater basin located northwest of the intersection of Wynnfield Dr. and Richmond Ln. The proposed project will remove invasive species from the site, and will create additional pollinator friendly habitat by installing native grasses and flowers within the basin. This public improvement is necessary to help ensure the quality of the Village’s stormwater runoff and ensure compliance with various state, federal, and local regulations. Additional information on the Green Region Grant program can be found at the following website: https://openlands.org/programs/comed-green-region-grant/.

The Village held an on-site meeting where Public Works staff presented information and were available to answer questions from residents relating to this project.

September 2023 Update:  The Wynnfield Restoration design amendment was presented for final approval at Village Board meeting on September 5.

Thank you in advance for your participation in this important public improvement project. With your patience and understanding, the Village will efficiently and effectively manage this project and provide an improved asset to your neighborhood and the creek corridor.
