Grayslake leaders have approved a $5 million plan to build a new 1 million-gallon capacity water tower and water metering station at Cornerstone, the 641-acre mixed-use development site at Peterson Road and Route 83.
The plan will ensure there will be more than enough water for the growth in the area anticipated by the village and Alter Group, the site developer, officials say.
The Cornerstone development site, purchased and annexed into the village in 2009, sat dormant until last year when Alter Group signed a deal with Medline to be the site s first tenant.
