Lindenhurst trustees split 3-3 on local grocery tax; ordinance fails The Lindenhurst Village Board voted 3-3 on Ordinance 25-7-2324 to establish a 1% local grocery sales tax required by Public Act 103-781; the motion did not carry, so the tax was not enacted. Staff estimated the village could lose about $96,000–$108,000 annually if the tax lapses on Jan. 1, 2026.

In a surprising tie, the Lindenhurst Village Board rejected a crucial local grocery sales tax that could cost the village up to $108,000 annually—what's next for the community?

Lindenhurst board authorizes joining regional NIMEC electricity bidding; hears community-solar option The Lindenhurst Village Board voted 5-0 to join the Northern Illinois Municipal Electric Collaborative (NIMEC) bidding pool and authorized the Village Administrator to sign a contract of up to 36 months. NIMEC presented a community solar option that could lower costs by about 10% but requires a 15–20 year commitment.

Lindenhurst is taking a bold step to lower electricity costs by joining a regional bidding pool, with the potential for significant savings and a community solar option on the table!
