county paving program



MFT funds, can yield enough dollars to bring most Non-dedicated Subdivision roads up to standards. Recognizing this, McHenry County has set aside funds to pave these roads, provided they first meet all other applicable standards. Cooperation between the County Highway Department, subdivisions in question and the Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner may eventually bring some of these roads into the Algonquin Township road system.


In most situations, subdivision residents come up with enough money, materials and labor to prepare the base for the road and the associated drainage by using MFT funds and private contributions. The recipe for success under this program combines subdivision money with Township and County advice, cooperation and final paving. Beginning in 1997 Township Highway Departments have been freed of some of the legal restraints to helping non-dedicated subdivisions. Now it is possible for township employees and township equipment to be used to help non-dedicated subdivisions, providing a formal plan leading to township acceptance is in place. Contact the Highway Commissioner for details.
