The Arlington Heights-based Township High School District 214 Board of Education voted Thursday night to move forward with hiring a lobbyist to represent the school district’s interests, in response to recently filed legislation that would create tax breaks for “mega projects” like a potential Chicago Bears stadium at Arlington International Racecourse.
Board President Bill Dussling said he and the board have major outstanding questions about how the proposed development would impact the district’s operations, from the number of students in the proposed residential area who would enroll in the district to the amount of money that wouldn’t flow to the district due to property tax incentives.Dussling said he would be meeting with the bill’s sponsor, state Sen.
In September 2022, team officials revealed a set of plans for a multi-billion dollar redevelopment that would include a stadium and sprawling mixed-use entertainment, commercial and residential district on the racetrack site. To get the 17 year extension, the municipality where the development is located would need to find that a project is of “substantial public benefit,” thus making a developer eligible for a certification from the Illinois Department of Revenue.
SD214 currently enrolls nearly 12,000 students across six schools, including John Hersey High School in Arlington Heights and Buffalo Grove High School in Buffalo Grove.
