Thousands of suburban voters will head to the polls this week for the 2023 municipal elections, and dozens of municipalities will have referendums and advisory.
Besides choosing candidates for local elected offices like village, school and library boards, voters in some communities will decide April 4 whether to fund hundreds of millions in new buildings, facility improvements, amenities and other ballot measures.
The Barrington Park District will ask voters in April to approve an $18.8 million bond issue to pay for improvements at Langendorf Park, including a new pool, bathhouse and courts for platform tennis and pickleball.
Barrington plans to continue its focus on improving connectivity and sustainability, and increasing the vibrancy of its downtown area, which recently has welcomed a few new businesses.
