Kane County’s Elm Tree Search | Chicago News

Kane County’s quest to honor Revolutionary War veterans with a special elm tree and plaque is finally moving forward — after months of delays and budget debates. Originally slated for the Geneva courthouse, the $500K plan was scrapped due to cost concerns. Now, the county is eyeing a much cheaper, simpler spot: a lawn at the Kane County Judicial Center in St. Charles, right beside the free speech zone, with an estimated $5K price tag. Board members still debate parking and green space priorities, but the main goal? Get that tree planted this fall — ideally in time for Veterans Day.
