Title/Name/Summary

Ordinance for Eminent Domain of 9401 159th Street - Former BP Gas Station

 

 

History

The Village of Orland Park has been working with the property owner to acquire the former BP Gas Station site at 9401 159th Street. The property has been vacant and unused since March 31, 2020. 

 

As such, the Village has been in negotiations with the owner to purchase the property. The purchase of the property is intended to help foster economic development and redevelopment of the subject property. This will also remove the blighted condition of the property.

 

The owner of the property and the Village have been unable to come to terms on the purchase of the property. As a result, it is recommended the Village pursue eminent domain.

 

Financial Impact

The cost of pursuing eminent domain will be determined by one or more appraisal(s) of the subject property and determined by a judge, plus legal and other real estate processing costs.
