The parking garage at Brainerd Avenue and Lake Street is officially open following a ribbon cutting ceremony last night. I had a chance to attend, and must say - there was a lot more in attendance than I had figured would show up for a ribbon cutting for a parking garage! Some of those who were there included; the entire current Libertyville Village Board, plus several members of the former Village Board (noticeably absent was former Mayor Jeff Harger - although he was thanked during the ceremony - it was his administration that got this project going), most Village Hall staff, many of the downtown business owners, members from Libertyville MainStreet and the GLMV Chamber, plus average Joe's such as myself. After the ribbon cutting, the developer supplied everyone with refreshments, cake and carmel apples from the Rockey Mountain Chocolate Factory. It was really a great event marking a major step forward for the downtown area.
