News from Kane County

Remember the Elfstrom Stadium renovation project? The Chicago Daily Herald has an update.

Kane Co. stadium deal still awaits

They've gone back to the drawing board, but they can't seem to turn a $12 million project into a $5 million one.

Officials from the Kane County Forest Preserve and Kane County Cougars have tweaked the plans but have yet to reach a decision on how the Elfstrom Stadium expansion project will be funded. Bids were solicited on two occasions; during the most recent round last month, the project estimate topped $12.1 million.

The renovation will add a second-level seating area and other amenities to the Geneva ballpark, owned by the forest preserve and leased by the minor-league Cougars baseball team. The forest preserve has committed $5 million to the project.

Read on for some of their options.
