The proposed resolution appropriates $200,000 in additional GO Borrowing for the Neighborhood Employment Center being constructed in the Park Edge Park Ridge neighborhood.

The 2016 Adopted Capital Budget included $1,000,000 for renovation costs. The amendment increases funding for the project based on final construction estimates.
