• Central, South Domes In Plans, Would Cost Millions (patch.com) — Hinsdale residents could see major changes at Hinsdale Central and South as District 86 explores $80 million in new debt, including possible inflatable winter domes for turf fields that may cost millions each. Board members are split on whether dome rentals could cover their costs, while officials estimate the borrowing would add about $83 a year in property taxes for a median-valued local home.
