Overview
On September 24, 2018, the Glen Ellyn Village Board adopted an ordinance that establishes a one and one-half percent (1.5%) tax on food and beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) for immediate consumption and on packaged liquor at retail.
The purpose of this tax is to help fund several capital projects including a parking garage, downtown street and streetscape, train station improvements, Roosevelt Road access improvements, and Civic Center improvements. The tax sunsets after bonds related to the projects are paid off.
