Robbins TIF plan proposed for waste to energy incinerator
Robbins officials move to create a 415 million tax increment financing district for a waste to energy incinerator. Area school districts oppose the measure while a joint review board prepares a recommendation. Opponents warn of high costs, potential state subsidy misuse, and long term tax impacts. The plan covers land assembly, construction, public works, utilities, and job training with a 20 year term. An appellate ruling upheld a December 1992 public hearing on the project as fair.

Harvey Officials Aim to Influence Medical Waste Incinerator
Harvey officials say they cannot block a Chicago company’s plan to build a medical waste incinerator in the southeast city but will press to influence its operations. Medical Disposal Services seeks IEPA approval to burn up to 48 tons daily, across 12 to 24 hours, near 165th to 167th streets west of Halsted Street, amid a nearby hazardous waste site and a forthcoming tax increment financing district. The IEPA will review for compliance and issue a decision within 90 days amid citizen opposition and protest from environmental groups.
