The Village Board favors a design for a new public safety center that would be similar to Village Hall.
In March, trustees voted to build a second public safety center that would mainly serve as a fire station for the town’s growing west side.
The center is planned for a 2-acre site that is being donated by home builder Pulte Homes in the Carrington Reserve subdivision located at Illinois Highway 72 and Sleepy Hollow Road.
The plan, presented by representatives of FGM, an architecture and engineering firm in Algonquin, includes a 26,000-square-foot center.
The building would include a basement. The structure would provide space for both the Police and Building Departments.
The plan also includes a village employee training room.
The cost for the new structure is estimated at $5.1 million, excluding the costs of communications equipment and furniture.
A $10 million bond sale approved by trustees in May will pay for it.
