Glenview lawmakers’ vote to give a $500,000 grant to a company to open a new downtown café and restaurant has riled the owner of an existing café who said the Village’s financial support for the new business is unfair and could effectively lead to her closing. “I’m deeply offended and personally hurt that the Village would take such an adversarial approach to me by inviting a highly successful out-of-town competitive mini-franchise coffeehouse to Glenview and then proposing to finance it,” Cathy Schiltz, owner of the Glenview Grind coffeehouse in the 1800 block of Glenview Road told the Glenview Village Board during its August 6 meeting. “I trust that the Board realizes the damage that Hometown will have on Glenview Grind and some of the other existing downtown businesses,” Schiltz added emotionally.
