About this Article

The Arlington Heights Park District now must regroup, and figure out how it can renovate four parks without the $48 million that voters denied them on Tuesday, said board president Maryfran Leno. Its disappointing, she said. But were very pleased with voter turnout. Theres evidence that the voters are pretty closely split in regard to being for or against it. We need to figure out what were going to do and regroup.
