Senior housing plan for 200 acres near Richton Park tabled
Somerville Yarling Developers seek Wynncrest Senior Development at the southwest corner of Sauk Trail and Ridgeland Avenue in unincorporated Cook County. The plan would annex land to Frankfort and include 1500 housing units for seniors, with up to 2000 residents 55 and older, amid concerns about fire police service and annexation disputes with Richton Park. The commission deferred action to the next meeting and officials weighed size, impact, and need for similar developments.
