Arbortheater Concert - TONIGHT "Soda"

The Arbortheater is located at 50 S. Fairway Drive, just north of the Vernon Hills Athletic Complex (VHAC). Concerts are held on Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m.. In case of rain the concerts will relocate at the Sullivan Center at 635 North Aspen Drive.

Concerts are open to the public and everyone is invited. Bring a blanket, lawn chairs, and picnic basket and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

During the concerts the main parking lot is blocked off for handicap and seniors. Concert parking is in the Rogers Executive Park II parking lot adjacent to the Arbortheater. The Arbortheater can also be accessed on the bike path through Deerpath Park just north of the Castle.

Soda is the Ultimate Human Jukebox! Plenty of good old-fashioned classic rock on hand will have everyone’s feet tappin’, and plenty more of todays “pop” hits will have the younger members of the audience jump out of their seats to sing and dance and “Jam” with the band.

Sign Up for Blackboard Connect Emergency 911 Call System

The Village of Vernon Hills uses a number our resources to keep people informed. Blackboard Connect is the Village’s reverse 911 emergency phone system used to notify people of extremely time-bound or urgent information — for instance an emergency road closure or a neighborhood utility problem.

Published telephone landlines are automatically included in the Blackboard Connect database. However if you do not have a published landline, your are urged to enroll any appropriate cellphone numbers for your household. Sign up by going to the Blackboard Connect webpage (https://vernonhills.bbcportal.com/Entry) and creating an account using your email address. A physical address is also required, which allows messages to be routed to specific neighborhoods.

Learn more about other Village communication options on the Village’s “Notify Me” webpage – the link is found at the bottom of the Village website, www.vernonhills.org. The “Blackboard Connect” link is found at the top of the “Notify Me” list.

Board of Trustee Vacancy

Trustee Cynthia Hebda was elected in 2015 to a four (4) year term. She will resign as Trustee from the Village Board on June 30. To fill the vacancy, President Byrne, with the advice and consent of the Board of Trustees, must appoint a replacement within 60 days after the vacancy occurs.

Route 21/60 Road Construction

The Route 60/21 intersection improvements are nearing completion. The underground utilities and additional lanes have been completed. Last weekend the roadway was milled and is ready for the installation of the asphalt leveling binder and final surface. Loop detectors, pavement markings and conversion to the new permanent traffic signals will occur soon after this work is complete.

Although this project is ahead of the projected schedule, it has been difficult on drivers and we anticipate that the project will be substantially completed by August 20, 2018. The additional turning and thru lanes are a major improvement to this extremely important IDOT intersection and will improve the level of service for years to come.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding as the project is completed.
