Title
Historic District - Discussion Only
History
The Old Orland Historic District, as the original downtown Orland Park, developed primarily as single-family homes but also includes small scale multi-family buildings, and mixed use commercial and office buildings. Union Avenue and Beacon Avenue have a small cluster of antique shops and locally owned dining establishments. As the Main Street Triangle development moves forward, the Village anticipates that this will drive new investment into the Historic District.
This item is being presented to the Village Board of Trustees for discussion only to determine if there are possible ways, in terms of incentive/grant programs that the Village could institute to assist in the re-investment and adaptive re-use of the Old Orland Historic District commercial properties. The purpose of the incentive/grant program would be to potentially assist with the attraction and retention of businesses within the Old Orland Historic District, so they can continue their vibrance.
