Nine Tinley Park residents will have a say in the cleanup of tainted state-owned land the Park District is in line to buy for $1, with state grant money used for environmental remediation.
Nine Tinley Park residents were named to a committee to advise the Tinley Park-Park District on the environmental cleanup of the former mental health center property proposed to be redeveloped for recreational uses. The committee, created Nov. 1, comes as the district is still several weeks away from gaining control from the state of the 280-acre site, northwest of Harlem Avenue and 183rd Street.
The state, under legislation signed into law in August by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, will sell the property to the district for $1. The district is working on the sale with the state’s Department of Central Management Services, which controls the property. The state budget allocated $15 million to the district to demolish buildings and clean up environmental hazards, including asbestos, black mold, some soil contamination and possibly leaking underground storage tanks.
