	Ċ	View Download	It would be reasonable to expect that a passive park, as proposed for the Highbrook Highline greenspace, would eventually pay for its expenses. Land acquisition, often the major cost, has already been accomplished. The Village owns the land. Increased tax revenue could go toward funding needed repairs and improvements. Creating a Highbrook Bridge Trail and Greenspace would produce long term financial and intangible benefits for the village.	98k	v. 2	Nov 6, 2011, 4:19 AM	Richard Seither
