The Village of Elk Grove Village has approved $700,000 in tax increment financing (TIF) assistance for The Vue, a mixed-use development project at the intersection of Arlington Heights and Higgins roads. The funding will cover unexpected environmental remediation costs due to contaminated soil from a former dry-cleaning operation on the site, as well as infrastructure changes required by the county for a planned pedestrian bridge over Arlington Heights Road.
Why it matters
The Vue is a major redevelopment project in Elk Grove Village that will transform a former shopping plaza into a mixed-use development with new retail, residential, and public infrastructure. The additional TIF funding demonstrates the village's commitment to supporting the project and overcoming unexpected challenges to ensure its successful completion.
The details
Wingspan Development Group, the owner of The Vue project, requested the $700,000 in TIF assistance to cover the costs of environmental remediation and infrastructure changes. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency increased the scope of required testing for contaminated soil on the site, which used to house a dry-cleaning operation. Additionally, the Cook County Department of Transportation mandated the removal of an existing ground-level crosswalk at the intersection, requiring a significant rework of the site's layout including the demolition and replacement of newly installed sidewalks.
- The Village of Elk Grove Village approved the $700,000 in TIF assistance on February 11, 2026.
- Finishing touches are currently being made to two new retail buildings at The Vue site.
