Rehab survey gets high marks from village county vips
Forest Park officials and Cook County leaders approve a proposed 90 000 rehabilitation study by Real Estate Research Corp to assess the needs and priorities for urban renewal. Village council previously authorized a 30 000 study funded by a 150 000 county grant, to guide Madison Street Roosevelt Road and postal property improvements. The county supports a timetable flexible to Forest Park, with completion expected within about two months and aims to spur local business engagement and future renovation plans.
