Title
Resolution Authorizing and Approving a Commitment by The Village of Orland Park for The 2026 "Invest In Cook" Grant Program (Old Oak Hill Multi-Use Path)
History
The Village is applying for Invest in Cook ("IIC") funding from the Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (CCDoTH) for Phase I Preliminary Engineering of the Old Oak Hill Multi-Use Path. The multi-use path will be located in the Old Oak Hill area north of 143rd Street and east of Wolf Road. The path would provide an off-street connection between the proposed 143rd Street Multi-Use Path and the Wolf Road corridor, which provides access to the proposed McGinnis Slough Multi-Use Path north of 139th Street. If awarded, the IIC funds would be utilized in 2027 for Phase I Preliminary Engineering. All oak trees in the old Oak Hill area will be preserved.
As required by the funding program, the Village will be obligated to provide a one-to-one match to be eligible for the award. Phase I Preliminary Engineering is an estimated $400,000 so the Village match would be $200,000.
Financial Impact
If awarded, the Village will commit up to $200,000 in matching funds for Phase I Preliminary Engineering in FY2027.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to adopt a Resolution entitled: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING A COMMITMENT BY THE VILLAGE OF ORLAND PARK FOR THE 2026 "INVEST IN COOK" PROGRAM (OLD OAK HILL MULTI-USE PATH).
