County Board Member Zach Oltmanns is asking for community input on the future of the Lorado Taft Campus. Take a moment to share your thoughts on his original post. Let’s make sure all Ogle County residents are part of the conversation.

Recently NIU approached the county board about gifting the historic Lorado Taft Campus to the county. What are your thoughts? How do you pay for the updates required? What do you foresee as the primary use of the property?

Unlike many counties we do not have a county forest preserve taxing body in Ogle County so likely operating costs would have to come from the general fund or another avenue. To be clear I’m not advocating for another line item on your property tax bill. Currently, only one other park is county property and is much smaller (Weld Park)

Let’s keep it civil. Should Ogle County acquire the property?
