She said they were interested in using the old Country Companies building to meet, as they they're now meeting in the old ambulance building. The village's TIF attorney, Anthony Schuering, was at the meeting and advised Pruitt that since they're a 501C6, that there are various restrictions on funds, and each case is considered on an individual basis. Mayor Skip Land added that there aren't any new TIF monies coming in until possibly this fall. He said the village owns the building they're interested in and is about to be appraised for possible sale.
