Update on Demolition of Modular Building at UGN

Mr. Legat reported that he reviewed the possible use of the modular building with leadership from the Waukegan Public School District and Boller Construction. It was determined that the cost to move, store over winter, and move to a final location in the summer of 2022 would be prohibitive, and the benefit would be marginal. Therefore, Mr. Legat recommended the demolition of the modular building at the Airport.
