The Village Board in April of 2023 approved an agreement with Sheppard, Morgan, & Schwaab (SMS) to design the Stamper Lane Extension, which will serve two lots slated for development on the east side of Godfrey Road. SMS agreed to coordinate with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) on the project’s design, compliance with IDOT regulations, and more, with all associated services estimated at the time to cost a maximum of $145,900.
