The McHenry City Council on Monday night signed off on purchasing the building and property at 1219 Green Street for future downtown project, and funds for additional remediation in the area.
The sale, which is pending regulatory approval, would increase the McHenry bank's assets from $350 million to $8 billion, Don Wilson, President of McHenry Savings Bank, said.
McHenry Alderman Frank McClatchey will be the "most local" person in a cast of 20 filming a Survivor-style live reality game near McHenry over Labor Day weekend, an organizer said. The game will be broadcast on YouTube.
