Unique office development plan gets first reading
Olympia Fields trustees approved the first reading of an ordinance creating a unique Illinois office development area. The measure, praised as pioneering, would allow any village section to receive incremental tax revenues for up to 10 years using Business District Development Act incentives administered by the village. The plan mirrors TIF-like financing but with village control and a public hearing preceded the vote.
