I just got back from the International Convention of Shopping Centers "Deal Making Conference" held in Downtown Chicago for a day and half. This is the seventh year in a row the village has attended. It's a marvelous opportunity to market the village, and the existing commercial land opportunities in the village. If you want to see the properties and the available commercial opportunities in the village take this link for complete lists and PDF's of most of the property available.There was a steady flow of commercial realtors talking and asking questions about the village and what is going on. It's an excellent opportunity to share the story of the dramatic demographic and population changes we have undergone. Since commercial developers tend to be type A personalities and somewhat blunt, its an excellent opportunity to hear candid feedback about the issues we face in business attraction.
Four years ago we made an initial contact with CVS , and from that meeting and lots of hard work later we were able to get them to locate on the corner of 134 and Fairfield 2 years later. Overall an excellent show!
