Mayors of CityofRM1 and Palatine_IL fear ChicagoBears related costs being passed on to them
In a letter to House Executive Committee Chairman Bob Rita, Lara Sanoica of Rolling Meadows and Jim Schwantz of Palatine wrote they have"significant concerns" about how revenues would be allocated from the Bears' proposed Arlington Park redevelopment across their borders in Arlington Heights.
"The bill as written does not take into account the full scope of the Bears development. The Bears don't even know the full scope of the Bears development at this time," Sanoica said of the proposed $5 billion project. But Sanoica and Schwantz argued it's premature to try to allocate revenues to the various units of local government in the absence of an infrastructure and traffic study. And without formal development plans being presented, they said it's unknown what their new operating expenses for public safety and infrastructure maintenance will be.
"Nothing at that site goes unnoticed," Sanoica told the crowd at the Wednesday chamber luncheon."We are keenly aware of how a mega project like this could completely overwhelm our commercial ecosystem, gridlock local traffic or strain our infrastructure."
