City council Monday considered another substantial financial request, this time from Hospice of Elgin.
Robert Furneaux, vice-president of the board of directors and Laura Sherwood, interim hospice executive director presented an update on the project since Sherwood last appeared before council in May of this year.
The group is now asking council to consider a gift of $550,000, which is in addition to the land donated by the city two years ago.
Of that total, $400,000 would be in the form of a multi-year grant and the remaining $150,000 from the waiving of development fees.
The request will be considered during 2024 budget deliberations.
