Summary: The Forest Preserves of Cook County (the “Forest Preserves”) has identified two (2) parcels of land for acquisition that would add to the Forest Preserves’ current holdings near Sweet Woods (the “Property”). The Property, commonly known as 290 E. Glenwood Dyer Road, Glenwood, Illinois & Part of 220 E. Glenwood Dyer Road, Unincorporated Cook County, Illinois, consist of approximately 25.50 ± acres. The Property has natural and fallowed land and contains a part of Deer Creek.

 

Through negotiations, the Owner of Record (the “Seller”), has agreed to sell the Property to the Forest Preserves for the sum of NINE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 00/100 ($950,000.00) plus closing costs up to $10,000.00 (up to $960,000.00 in total). The purchase price is based upon two (2) M.A.I. appraisals obtained by the Forest Preserves and is subject to the Forest Preserves’ satisfactory completion of its due diligence.

 

Permission is now sought, upon satisfactory completion of all due diligence and negotiation of any and all required documentation as determined by the Forest Preserves Legal Department, to effectuate payment in the amount of the purchase price plus closing costs as full compensation for the acquisition of the Property.

 

This land acquisition advances the goals of the Forest Preserves’ Southeast Cook County Land Acquisition Plan, Next Century Conservation Plan, and Acquisition and Disposition of Land Position Paper.
