# McHenry County Enterprise Zone - Public Meeting, 11-4-26

The McHenry County Enterprise Zone Board meeting on November 4, 2026, approved a $2,116 increase to its FY 2026–27 budget for changing website hosting and migrating and updating the Enterprise Zone website for ADA accessibility. The added costs were described as $416 for the new hosting arrangement and $1,700 for migration and accessibility work; Webfoot was identified as the website host. The amendment passed by roll-call vote. The board also accepted the administrator’s financial report, which noted net assets exceeding $52,000 and project-fee income ahead of budget, including potential additional revenue from the expanding UNIL project.

Partner and administrator reports covered several development projects and infrastructure updates, including a proposed Route 14 veterinary clinic, a 116-unit mixed-use development in Woodstock, and other prospective business and redevelopment activity. Members reported that Metra had approved phase-one engineering costs for a proposed Woodstock rail yard, and that the County Transportation Committee had approved purchasing the rail-yard property and included the purchase in the coming fiscal year’s budget; further approval was still pending. The administrator cited cumulative Enterprise Zone results of approximately $94 million in capital investment and 555 jobs. No vendor contract award or bid approval was made by the board.
