Rochelle District Delays Decision On Proposed 1.2 Million Golf Course
Flagg Rochelle Community Park District Board in Rochelle postponed action on the Skare Park nine hole golf course amid public demand for a ruling. The plan, tied to an eight cent levy increase, faced mixed support and opposition, with a 60 to 40 voter split against the project but three newly elected pro course directors. The board may explore alternative funding or a backdoor referendum, with a six month انتظار before final action, as bond rates rise and the funding debate continues.

Open Sesame Child Care Center eyes a new home after the board agreed to an option to buy a portion of an acre on Countryside Lane near Franklin Grove Road. The plan hinges on financing and a special use permit from Dixon City Council, with a petition to be heard Monday night. If approved, a 10 000 square foot building costing about 290000 dollars would be constructed, allowing expansion and an outdoor play area by fall. The center now operates at South Central School and hopes to begin building in the next few months.
