Mount Prospect's Village Board was scheduled Oct. 6 to take up a second reading of an ordinance adopting Mount Prospect 2040 (MP2040) as the village's official 2026 comprehensive plan, alongside a consent agenda listing bills of $4,903,640.07. Minutes from that meeting have not been published, so the records reviewed for this roundup do not establish any vote or outcome. Everything below comes from agendas: items are listed as scheduled, proposed or discussed — not as decided.
Village Board, Oct. 6: MP2040, car wash, liquor licenses, contracts
The board's agenda listed the second reading of the MP2040 adoption ordinance as its main old-business item.
