He added that the Village had been notified a month ago that their letter of credit that was being held for them was not going to be renewed. The Village then contacted the developer as to the status of the project. The developer decided to vacate the project. The developer’s attorney contacted the utility companies and confirmed the project would be vacated. Brown stated the subdivision would expire May 10th.

Kelly Ford, attorney for the developers stated the Village was still holding a Subdivider’s bond, but will let it expire and the developer would be back with a request to release the bond, probably at the June meeting.
