Summary: The Forest Preserves of Cook County (the “Forest Preserves”) has identified three (3) parcels of land for acquisition that would add to the Forest Preserves’ current holdings near Orland Grassland (the “Property”). The Property, commonly known as 9700 W 167th Street, Orland Park, Cook County, Illinois, consists of approximately 15.204 ± acres. The Property contains a wetland and a part of Marley Creek.
Through negotiations, the Owner of Record (the “Seller”), has agreed to sell the Property to the Forest Preserves for the sum of SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 00/100 ($790,000.00) plus closing costs up to $10,000.00 (up to $800,000.00 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. The Forest Preserves has applied for an Open Space Land Acquisition & Development grant for this acquisition and, if awarded, 50% of the purchase price up to $395,000.00 would be reimbursed.
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’ Land Acquisition Plan, Next Century Conservation Plan, and Acquisition and Disposition of Land Position Paper.
