A developer has released design plans for a 15-acre parcel of vacant land at the intersection of Routes 83 and 53 in Long Grove The land includes property already targeted for a QuikTrip gas station at the intersection managing principal at Highland Park-based GTZ Properties said he has the property under contract and plans to fill the 13 acres that does not include the QuikTrip with retail and restaurants The Long Grove village board has already spent two meetings discussing the QuikTrip proposal It has yet to reach a decision and expects to vote at an upcoming meeting Goltz said GTZ will present more comprehensive plans about the 13 acres at that meeting which would be an anchor on the entire 15-acre property But he also emphasized there is much more to the project “The narrative on this site had been a little lost with the focus on the gas only,” he said Goltz said the uses on the 13 acres will not conflict with the neighboring Sunset Grove shopping center at Route 83 and Aptakisic Road are several full-service breakfast restaurants and other food and retail users He said the project will bear some resemblance to the redevelopment of the Beeson’s Nursery property by the Mariano’s at the northeast corner of Waukegan and Half Day roads in Bannockburn “This property has been blighted for quite a while and has so much opportunity to bring in a lot of different businesses and amenities to the community,” he said The developer also touted the project’s potential to create jobs and generate sales tax revenue for the village as well as motor fuel taxes and additional property taxes from the increased value Goltz has been involved in projects in such suburbs as Buffalo Grove Lake and McHenry County Scanner Four suspects part of a larger crew allegedly

been again and it has been hit dozens of times since it reopened in 2020 (WLS) -- The "Robert Parker Coffin Bridge" in the north suburbs has been hit again The bridge was formerly known as "Long Grove Covered Bridge" Surveillance video showed a small truck carrying a stacked load hit the top of the bridge ABC7 has previously reported that the bridge has been hit dozens of times in the last few years READ MORE | Historic Long Grove bridge hit again for a total of 50 incidents since it reopened Stephanie and Bryan Epstein were just hoping to add a third child to their young family the Long Grove couple welcomed a rare set of spontaneous triplets — three boys born without the help of fertility treatments The odds of Stephanie’s particular type of pregnancy are about one in 80,000 The triplets were delivered safely by a team of specialists from Advocate Children’s Hospital in Park Ridge — the same health system that saved the Epsteins’ first son The family’s journey started in 2021 when Asher was born with meconium aspiration syndrome The condition happens when babies inhale a mix of amniotic fluid and their first stool into the lungs before or during birth “We weren’t sure if he was gonna live or die,” Stephanie said He was on a ventilator and hooked up to so many wires and medications — probably 20 or more.” Doctors used a life support system called ECMO to save Asher’s life It temporarily takes over the job of the heart and lungs helping a critically ill patient’s body rest and recover Blood is pumped out of the baby’s body through one tube cleaned and filled with oxygen and then returned to the baby through another tube With that roller coaster experience behind them Stephanie called the birth a huge blessing which sells baby gear through her online store Bryan continued running his own marketing and graphic design company the couple was thrilled to learn they were expecting another baby “The tech totally caught us off guard when she said nothing’s wrong — but I think I see three,’” Stephanie said a maternal fetal medicine specialist at Advocate Children’s Hospital’s Center for Fetal Care in Park Ridge led the team that successfully delivered the triplets — Levi He explained that two of the boys are identical twins while the third is fraternal — a rare and more complex type of triplet pregnancy You can have three separate placentas and three separate sacs we had two babies sharing one placenta and the third having his own,” Mehra said “Those types of pregnancies add layers of risk.” The situation required the Epsteins to visit weekly with Mehra and his team Things were going smoothly until week 26 when she began having contractions “They told me I was in preterm labor,” Stephanie said Delivery came at 34 weeks via planned C-section With more than 25 people in the operating room Stephanie said the atmosphere was almost festive I had my music blasting and was completely present for the whole thing,” she said ‘It’s a party in here!’ And it was 7:30 in the morning Mehra did his best to prepare the Epsteins on what to expect during the operation He said safely delivering triplets is a major medical event filled with risks for both mom and the babies “I told her what you’re going to see is organized chaos,” he said with people focused on mom and others focused on the babies We wanted the family to be safe and enjoy the moment.” daily life for the family is far from typical means the Epstein household runs on routine and teamwork Stephanie estimates they go through 25 to 30 diapers daily — more than 175 a week — and wash about 20 bottles a day Bedtime in the Epstein household is carefully choreographed The two older boys are bathed and in bed by 7:30 p.m the triplets get their final feeding of the day The babies usually are bathed earlier in the day — giving five baths back-to-back is no small feat From Asher’s NICU stay to the safe arrival of the triplets Stephanie said she and Bryan are immensely grateful for the lifesaving care they’ve received at Advocate Children’s Hospital “We love the doctors and nurses,” Stephanie said Residents were displaced after a fire sent flames through the roof of a large house in Long Grove Saturday evening prompting numerous fire departments to respond The Countryside Fire Protection District and Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded around 8:30 p.m Saturday to the 5600 block of Oakwood Circle in Long Grove for a report of a structure fire Multiple other fire departments were also dispatched to the call and the Mundelein Fire Department arrived on the scene first Fire crews reported flames and smoke coming from the roof of a large two-story single-family home The fire occurred in the Oakwood Creek subdivision A rural water supply was established and fire department tender trucks had to haul water to the scene The Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS) was activated to the box alarm level to bring additional resources to the scene Firefighters pulled a hose line and set up a tower ladder to extinguish the fire in the 6,300-square-foot home Ron Cielek said the homeowners called 911 to report a fire on the rear deck of the home The homeowners tried to extinguish the fire with a garden hose but were unsuccessful Cielek said the rear deck was fully involved when firefighters got on the scene The fire went into the inside of the home and spread into the attic Everyone escaped from the home safely and no injuries were reported to any residents or firefighters Approximately a dozen fire departments assisted at the scene and several other fire departments covered Countryside’s fire stations Countryside Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Russ Bach said the home sustained extensive damage and is uninhabitable A damage estimate was not immediately available and the cause of the fire is being investigated by the Countryside Fire Protection District known for its festivals celebrating apples will give visitors something else to celebrate — Lake Michigan water Long Grove is expected to approve an intergovernmental agreement Tuesday allowing the village to buy water from Buffalo Grove Buffalo Grove trustees on Monday approved their end of the bargain which calls for Long Grove to receive up to 260,000 gallons per day for up to 20 years Buffalo Grove officials estimate initial revenue at $80,000 annually Long Grove Village Manager Chris Sparkman said the water will serve the downtown district which currently is served by a deep well — only one subdivision in the village receives Lake Michigan water through Lake County Buffalo Grove Deputy Village Manager and Director of Public Works Michael Skibbe said the village will apply the funds toward village infrastructure improvements He said the village is able to sell water because it has excess capacity as the result of a reduction in water usage The connection would cross Arlington Heights Road north of Thompson Boulevard The water will be fed to the Long Grove reservoir through a protective air gap Long Grove would have to build a new connection pipe Sparkman said Long Grove would receive a $960,000 federal grant secured by Rep It is the second such agreement for Buffalo Grove which will sell water to the Pekara/Horatio Gardens subdivisions in Lake County Sparkman said Long Grove was looking at costly retrofitting of the existing well system if the village didn’t latch onto Buffalo Grove Construction is expected to start this year and be ready by next year Long Grove village trustees voted Tuesday night to continue deliberations on a proposal for a QuikTrip gas station east of the intersection of routes 83 and 53 The decision came after trustees reached an impasse will not be back when the board continues discussions The other yes vote would come from Kent Tinucci “We always wanted something on this property,” Kritzmire said “It’s going to create opportunities for other businesses.” Trustee Chris Borawski expressed concern about light pollution while Trustee Rita O’Connor said a 24/7 operation is too intense Trustee Mohammed Jameel recommended sending the proposal back to the plan commission to clarify what specific codes it violates Despite this station possibly being the fourth in a relatively small area QuikTrip is seeking preliminary approval for the station on the nearly 15 acre property The station would be the first phase of a development on the property Trustees pressed QuikTrip on what other users might be coming said potential business partners are awaiting the outcome of the village’s discussions An overflow crowd attended Tuesday’s meeting with residents outside village hall following the action on Zoom We have concerns about safety at night,” resident Steve Ernsteen said “I very much understand the village needs to make money QuikTrip representative Skyler Evans said all of the company’s stations are operated around the clock a member of the planning commission and zoning board of appeals said a number of factors went into their decision to reject the proposal the impact on traffic and how future users will affect residents removing pumps for semitrucks from the plan changing the canopy design and toning down the branding colors “This project will generate significant retail sales tax revenue and hundreds of thousands of dollars to the TIF district,” he added Despite unanimous rejection by the village’s plan commission the Long Grove Village Board could still approve a controversial QuikTrip gas station on the east side of the intersection of routes 83 and 53 A large turnout is expected at village hall at 7 p.m as trustees continue a discussion it began earlier this month The plan calls for a Planned Unit Development on nearly 15 acres of land The station is the first phase of a development that could lure such additional businesses as a car wash hotel or restaurants on the remaining lots QuikTrip would offer fueling stations and a convenience store The proposal has spurred opposition from residents who say there are already two similar gas complexes nearby both facing each other at Route 83 and Arlington Heights Road “We would have three gas stations within the span of two football fields here How crazy is that?” said Long Grove resident Jane Ware Opponents include former village President Tony Dean who complained about increased traffic congestion at the intersection which is currently a T-intersection but would change to a four-way with access onto the property “Now we're going to have people coming out of that place Dean also questioned the project’s economic outlook “With now three filling stations [in the area] and the possibility of a decline in fossil fuel usage I would be curious to see how it does if we do The property falls within the village’s Route 83/Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District Village officials said the TIF revenue generated would help discharge outstanding TIF bonds and reimburse previous village expenditures Village Manager Chris Sparkman said the station would also generate sales tax and motor fuel tax revenue Although the village does not levy a property tax surrounding taxing bodies would benefit from the increase in land value Sparkman added the plan has already seen some modifications including elimination of a high-flow diesel bay and the addition of landscape screening Four men authorities believe were part of a crew targeting homes in the Asian community were charged in connection with a burglary at a Long Grove home

Grove according to two candidates running for village trustee in the April 1 election agree that connecting to Lake Michigan water is among the village board’s primary concerns four-year village board seats in next week’s election O'Connor touts her eight years of village board experience among her qualifications while Harris cited his familiarity with village procedures along with the “fresh perspectives and new energy” he would bring to the office Two other candidates — incumbent Bobbie O'Reilly and newcomer Philip Carona — did not submit candidate questionnaires nor did they respond to emailed questions about their positions for this story Neither participated in a Daily Herald endorsement interview despite invitations to do so Harris wrote in his Daily Herald candidate questionnaire: “We need to get a better understanding of the longevity of the aquifer as well as more testing on contaminants within our private well water supply.” The village has received a $960,000 federal grant to cover part of the expense of those studies That will supplement $1.7 million from the village to fund the first phase of the project which is estimated to cost about $2.4 million in all and should be completed next year While a pumping station supplies water to the downtown area about 90% of Long Grove residents have private wells The “unknown longevity of the aquifer and the potential existence of radium in the water supply” make connecting to Lake Michigan water necessary O’Connor cited traffic congestion as another village concern and said officials must continue to prod the Illinois Department of Transportation to move forward with promised widening of Route 22 to alleviate backups Harris expressed concern about road and neighborhood safety writing that “many neighborhoods do not have sidewalks for pedestrian use.” Harris proposes additional road safety projects including speed and radar warning signs speed tables (are raised sections of roads installed to slow vehicles) improved road shoulders and blind turn warnings O'Connor proposes installing pedestrian bridges over Route 83 near Robert Parker Coffin Road and over Old 53 at Schaeffer Road to make Long Grove and its amenities more accessible bike or run through the village would enable not only a feeling of neighborliness and community but also a contribution to cleaner air and personal health,” she said O'Connor described Long Grove's financial position as strong “Our annual general operating budget is approximately $4.7 million with $10 million in reserves in excess of our policy of maintaining 12 months of reserves,” she said which is intended to cover the cost of the village hall expansion and the cost to access Lake Michigan water “our reserves are strong and our budget is well-structured.” WGN-TV A Celebration of Life gathering will be held from 4:00 P.M 2024 at the Long Grove Community Center in Long Grove the daughter of Raymond & Veronica (Crall) Coughlin Joyce had

No injuries were reported Saturday night after fire broke out in a Long Grove home, causing significant damage and leaving the residence uninhabitable. Residents were able to escape unharmed from the blaze, which broke out at about 8:30 p.m. in the 5600 block of Oakwood Circle, Countryside Fire Protection District officials said Sunday. The first firefighters to arrive encountered heavy fire conditions at the rear of the residence, with flames spreading throughout all levels of the home, including the basement and attic, authorities said. Due to the rural location and lack of hydrants in the area, firefighters established a rural water supply operation to shuttle water to the scene. Multiple mutual-aid fire departments responded to assist, officials said. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Among the fire departments assisting at the scene were Mundelein, Libertyville, Lake Zurich, Long Grove, Lincolnshire-Riverwoods, Wauconda, Round Lake, Gurnee, Wheeling, Grayslake, North Chicago, Lake Forest, Highland Park, and Barrington-Countryside. The Salvation Army Canteen also was on scene to provide support for the first responders, officials said. has entered into an agreement with Long Grove Pharmaceuticals to supply norepinephrine IV bags helping to meet immediate and long-term supply needs for a therapy to treat patients with low blood pressure and heart failure Norepinephrine IV bags have experienced ongoing product availability issues over the past five years as demand has outpaced supply the Premier and Long Grove Pharmaceuticals collaboration supports supplier diversification and a more stable product supply by increasing the availability of adequate safety stock on a long-term basis “We’re pleased to offer Norepinephrine Premix IV bags through the ProvideGx supply channel,” said Peter Karas chief commercial officer at Long Grove Pharmaceuticals coupled with our rapidly amplified improvements on a variety of complex generic drug reformulations increase efficiency and support reliable product supply for a critical drug.” [Read more: Long Grove gets FDA OK for generic Radicava] “Our collaboration with Long Grove Pharmaceuticals is yet another step forward to help ensure a more robust supply environment and the continued availability and affordability of high-quality therapies for healthcare providers and patients,” said Bruce Radcliff senior vice president of supply chain services at Premier we are enabling a more diversified pharmaceutical market designed to create sustainable supply of a drug product that is vital for patient care in the United States.” Guided by health systems with more than 1,600 hospitals across the nation Premier’s ProvideGx program creates long-term committed buying contracts with participating manufacturers—creating a steady demand signal and guaranteed customer base for manufacturers in exchange for their production of generics in shortage which helps maintain safety stocks and more diversified supply sources ProvideGx offers members access to more than 150 drugs that are or have been recently designated as shortage drugs The program has successfully helped resolve 15 drug shortages resulting in their official delisting from the FDA’s shortage list [Read more: Long Grove launches premix norepinephrine] Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInAutoplayAp The annual Long Grove Apple Festival was buzzing with excitement Friday on the first day of the three-day event Three fun-filled days full of apple delicacies from apple wine to apple tempura round out the 33rd annual fest Music from Beyond the Blonde at 6:30 p.m. and 7th Heaven at 9 p.m. Saturday; and Chicken Dolphin at 1:30 p.m. and American English at 4 p.m. Sunday.
