As lacrosse continues to develop in non-traditional areas, Justin Porter plays a key role in the Chicago area. The former MLL champion and Hobart midfielder created a club program named The Lacrosse School to provide players an authentic lacrosse and life experience.
Porter, a Geneva (N.Y.) native who won an MLL championship with the Rochester Rattlers in 2008, aims to provide a tight-knit, family-oriented environment with The Lacrosse School, which is a year-round school program.

On Nov. 24, a site plan review application was submitted by the developer for a large attached apartment building. Christian Arnold, who filed the application under his own name not his company is currently in court over another project he submitted in Northfield for an “upscale” campground. Arnold told The Recorder he was “excited to see the community working together to showcase the beauty of the area.”
