Park Forest panel weighs industrial plant expansion and buffer
Plan Commission member Allan Johnson questioned the 300 foot buffer between a new industrial area and a southern neighborhood. Coglianese noted forested land and a wetland would stand as buffer and a new resin process aims to cut odors. Expansion would add about 36 jobs, with current staffing around 50. Also approved were a Wal Mart and Sam’s Wholesale Club on Cicero Avenue, plus a resubdivision for townhomes between Charleston Road and 216th Street.
