The Caucus needs village residents to share their thoughts on the direction of the village. This helps the Caucus form its platform, which in turn guides selection of the best candidates for trustee. Please take a few minutes to complete our questionnaire. Click here.

News Update
The Village of Northfield is advocating for a TIF (Tax Increment Financing) and is moving through the evaluation and approval process quickly. The Caucus is asking the Village Board to slow down the process to allow for residents to learn more and ask more questions. This is because Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is a complicated economic development tool that can be good for revitalizing blighted areas but bad due to reduced transparency and the diversion of tax revenue from schools and public services. While proponents argue TIFs enable projects that would not otherwise occur, critics often argue they subsidize private developers and fail to generate net economic growth.
Here is the proposed TIF area.
Our next Village Caucus Meeting is a special meeting on
May 18, 7:00 pm at Lustig Lodge, Clarkson Park.
