BACC to host Town Hall with Barrington taxing bodies

A public Town Hall Forum featuring updates from eight local taxing bodies is set for 8 a.m. Wednesday, April 26, at Makray Memorial Golf Club, 1010 S. Northwest Hwy., Barrington.

The inaugural event, hosted by The Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce, will provide updates on economic conditions in the Barrington area, as well as a Q&A session with forum speakers. Registration and a breakfast buffet begin at 7:30 a.m.

"The first of its kind in the Barrington area, this public town hall forum offers the community a chance to hear firsthand vital information about how their tax dollars are being used to impact the prosperity of our communities," said BACC President Suzanne Corr.

"Attendees will also have the opportunity to submit questions to the speakers."

Invited speakers include representatives from the Barrington Area Library, Barrington Community School District 220, Barrington Countryside Protection District, Barrington Hills Park District, Barrington Township, Cuba Township and South Barrington Park District.

The cost to attend the event is $35 per person. Event sponsor fee is $250, which includes four tickets to the event, logo recognition on the BACC website and day-of event signage.
