The village is willing to put up the $25 million cost, and have the toll authority pay back half of that in the future.
So far, the entertainment district includes a movie theatre, but plans for two restaurant-bars and a bowling alley.
The Illinois Toll Highway Authority is to vote on the ramp plan next month with financing aspects still to be completely worked out.
