Dist. 59 administration building project delayed

Design drawings that are taking longer than expected will delay construction on Elk Grove Township Elementary District 59's new administration building, officials said. That means any public hearing before the Elk Grove Village plan commission won't take place until the end of the year or start of next year, according to a village announcement.

An initial timetable called for construction to begin in October and the new building to be open in July 2017.

The proposed two-story, 40,000-square-foot administration building will be at 999 Leicester Road. The estimated $12.3 million cost would be funded through reserves and by selling the district's current property at 2121-2123 S. Arlington Heights Road in Arlington Heights.
