Downtown Arlington Heights business owners have formed a new nonprofit organization to build up the village’s current central shopping and entertainment district, partly in anticipation of a possible Chicago Bears stadium development.
Demolition continues on the grandstand at the former Arlington International Racecourse, July 11, 2023.
But Bottle & Bottega owner Christopher Bonk also said the organization could help the downtown distinguish itself with different offerings from what would be available at the racecourse property if the Bears’ project moved forward.“We want to build an identity so that if the Bears thing actually happens, it separates us in a way so that we’re sort of a competitive sort of situation,” he said.
A staff memo to trustees at the July 10 meeting stated that village leaders want to see a potential Bears development be “complementary and synergistic” to downtown Arlington Heights. Rose works downtown and attended the meeting as a member of the newly formed downtown alliance. Late last month, he was onstage alongside Bears team President Kevin Warren as a leader of Touchdown Arlington, a booster group that supports the team’s proposal.
