Monday night, June 1, the Glencoe City Council voted 3-2 in favor of Glenview Estates Second Addition, a plat for residential housing for slightly smaller, slightly less expensive housing than in the first addition. We’re talking $250,000ish vs. $350,000 or so. Tuesday morning, June 2, the county board voted 3-2 against a solar garden on land east of Silver Lake.
