A five-story, 100-unit apartment building is under construction in downtown Fox River Grove as part of a larger plan to develop the area with more residents, businesses and maybe a hotel.
The Crystal Lake City Council is set to vote Tuesday on whether it wants to enter into an agreement with Metra to buy property around the downtown train station property that Union Pacific is looking to sell.

The village of Fox River Grove is planning a multiyear program to replace aging water mains, projects that will be funded through a rise in water and sewer rates.
Many of the village s water mains are approaching 100 years old, making them more prone to breaks, Village Administrator Derek Soderholm said. The village typically sees anywhere from four to eight water main breaks in a year.
Anytime a water main breaks, the affected area has to be isolated, meaning residents there are without water during the repair, Soderholm said. Repairs can take as many as 12 hours, depending on the significance of the break.
