Orland Park Eyes Special Census for Revenue Boost
Village trustees seek a special off year Census to push population from about 13 500 to trigger higher tax revenues. Estimated cost 6 000 to 7 000, potential annual gain 10 000 to 20 000, with 50 000 to 100 000 at stake if not done. The plan moves to Chicago after initial federal action.
