Arlington Heights and Rolling Meadow are sharing the local costs of a $4.5 million resurfacing of Wilke Road and other improvements along the thoroughfare. But if the road needs to be widened for a proposed Chicago Bears stadium, count Rolling Meadows out for now, one city alderman says.
The mayors of Rolling Meadows and Palatine Wednesday formalized their opposition to Bears legislation in Springfield, fearing it would place more than $1 billion in infrastructure upgrades on their backs and that of other local governments.
More taxes at a new Arlington Heights Bears stadium to help pay off decades-old Soldier Field renovation debt could help get the team s massive property tax break legislation across the goal line. That was at least one suggestion offered up during a brief Wednesday morning hearing at the state Capitol in Springfield.
