GODFREY – Godfrey Mayor Mike McCormick has once again cast the tie-breaking vote against St. Louis-based firm PGAV to update the village’s comprehensive plan. The Village Board of Trustees, featuring some newly sworn-in members , were locked into a 3-3 tie on the agreement at Tuesday night’s meeting, prompting the mayor’s second tie-breaking vote on the subject since October of 2024 . Voting in favor were Trustees Rick Lauschke, Craig Lombardi, and Mike Fisher. Joining the mayor’s vote against the agreement were Trustees Karen MacAtee, Sarah Woodman, and Gerard Fischer. A comprehensive plan essentially serves as a roadmap for a community’s future, ensuring its growth is guided in a strategic way over the next few years to a decade. Such a plan would not include specific policies or ordinances, but would give general guidance on how village leaders should approach decisions that impact Godfrey’s future, including considerations for housing
