Early voting has begun April 20 in Litchfield Park, ahead of the city’s all-mail special election on May 17, in which voters will decide the fate of the city’s planned downtown core.
Between 2014 and 2017 the city of Litchfield Park purchased roughly 30 acres of land on the southeast corner of Litchfield Road and Village Parkway. Those pieces of land — once privately owned, but now in the hands of the city — are the future site of the long-awaited Litchfield Square development.
City leadership seeks to sell or lease seven lots totaling about seven acres of land to developers, but before the city can move forward on sales that exceed $1.5 million, it’ll need a stamp of approval from voters this May.
