St. Charles agrees to tax refund for motorcycle business
Updated May 13, 2013 11:17 PMA new business expecting to generate $18.5 million of sales in its first five years in St. Charles has told city officials it can’t afford to relocate to the city unless it receives a tax incentive of up to $70,000.

Randall Road. That’s the same location US Adventure RV hoped to relocate to when it secured a tax incentive from aldermen back in January.

Accretive Helping Hands - The Choral-aires Chorus placed second in the Community Teams category raising funds for breast cancer research last month, missing first place by only $25. The chorus raised $3,985 by the time the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure rolled around, with more donations still coming, surpassing their original goal of $3,000. The Choral-Aires has five current chorus members that either have, or have had, breast cancer. And this year, 2 of the team members discovered that their mothers have breast cancer, so they were walking on race day for their moms. One member of our team, Kara Gray, celebrated her 10 years without breast cancer this year. While not a Chorus member, she is the daughter of long-time member Martha Anderson, who also walked with the team on race day. Lindsey Herza
