Another public speaker asked the board to relocate the annual Northbrook Grand Prix to Wood Oaks Green Park in west Northbrook and not keep it around Village Green Park on Shermer Road, Meadow Road, Walters Avenue, and Church Street. Both are Northbrook Park District parks. “Brookfield , the owner and developer, has been working its way through a series of required site plan submittals which were required by the Oct. 30 agreements,” Ciesla said. “They are on track and they are in compliance with those deadlines.
“So we are moving forward which is great, good news for everyone,” Ciesla said. “It’s an $825 million investment, almost a billion dollars, so as we all know, it’s not like remodeling your kitchen or putting in a bathroom.Trustee Robert P. Israel said, “This is going to be done in a staged fashion, so there will be parts that will still be operating of the mall while this is undertaken.
