Wilmette is working on addressing aging infrastructure as an older community with a range of capital needs. The village’s 2027 capital program totals $58 million, and nearly half of that is earmarked for the new police station project. The village said Fine also secured $500,000 for that project in the state’s 2026 budget.

The remaining capital work includes upgrades at the water treatment facility, water main replacements, lead service line replacements and road program needs, according to the village.
