FOX LAKE – A month after the Fox Lake village president announced his goal of putting a hotel in the lakefront park, some developers are letting the village know they’re interested, the village president said.

Village President Ed Bender’s vision, which he made the centerpiece of his re-election campaign, includes a hotel, restaurant and banquet hall at village-owned Lakefront Park, a location that causes concern for his challenger in the upcoming April election.

The village has received official preliminary letters of intent from restaurant and hotel groups, Bender announced at the Fox Lake Village Board meeting Tuesday.
