Richton Park weighs study of tax district for Governors Plaza
Richton Park trustees on Monday passed an ordinance to study creating a tax increment financing district for the largely vacant Governors Plaza Shopping Center at Governors Highway and Sauk Trail. Hiffman Shafer and Anderson seeks funds to clear hazardous residue and move a national chain like Ace Hardware or Walgreens to the plaza while not altering the six existing stores. The village plans IEPA involvement to place the site on the superfund list, with Hiffman fronting $15,000 for soil cleanup and the IEPA covering later high priority costs.
