Industrial park flourishes with new distribution center plans
Village officials discussed a 360,000 square foot ACCO International distribution center at the industrial park with a $4.5 million loan and 20 acres to be acquired. Groundbreaking could occur by week’s end, with jobs for University Park residents and a remote personnel office to hire locally. Taxes on the property are expected to yield about $160,000 next year, even if vacant.
