- Normal Town Council approves increased taxes to fund an underpass projectThe Town of Normal voted 4-3 to raise taxes to fund a $40.3 million underpass. The vote passed Monday evening, with Normal Mayor Chris Koos as the deciding vote. Increased taxes will be the primary fund for the new underpass. The following are all of the new policies that will be implemented because of this project. In hotels and motels, the tax will be raised from 6% to 8%, and the food and beverage tax will rise from 2% to 2.25%. The city is approving a new version of its grant deal with the U.S. Department of Transportation to fund part of the Uptown Station underpass. With the passing of this resolution, the city is agreeing to pay Millstone Weber, a construction company, roughly $32 million to construct the underpass. The city is hiring Clark Dietz, Inc., a consulting engineering firm, to handle all of the engineering work while the underpass is being built. This resolution approves a contract with WSP USA, a company that provides engineering services for the pedestrian crossing at Uptown Station, to provide support during the construction. The town is giving itself permission to refinance old debts by selling up to $43.7 million in new bonds to replace several older ones already in place.
