| Pertains to Millennium Trail, Volo | |
| Construction could begin soon on another leg of the long-planned Millennium Trail through Lake County. The newest path will be in the Volo area, between the Singing Hills Forest Preserve and the Autumn Grove subdivision. The Greg Greenhill Construction Co., a Ringwood firm, is set to build the newest trail leg. If the full forest board approves a proposed contract next week, the company will be paid $245,673 for the job. Board committees have tentatively approved the deal. Greenhill is building another leg of the trail this summer, too. That piece, roughly 2 miles long, will connect the Lakewood Forest Preserve near Wauconda with the Ray Lake preserve. The first section of the Millennium Trail opened in 2002 near Mundelein and Wauconda. About 11 miles of the trail have been built so far, mostly between the Lakewood and Singing Hills preserves. Short legs also have been completed in the Rollins Savanna near Grayslake, at the Bonner Heritage Farm near Lindenhurst and in McDonald Woods near Lindenhurst. When completed, the entire trail will run 35 miles through much of Lake County. It will connect with other paths, such as the Des Plains River Trail. Hiking, biking, cross-country skiing and horseback riding are permitted on the Millennium Trail. |
