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 part of the long-awaited Litchfield Square development. City leadership seeks to sell about 12 acres of that 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 in an election scheduled for Tuesday, May 17.
So far, just one parcel has sold at an amount of $600,000, but city leaders expect some of the larger parcels could go for much more in the future, especially if developers are purchasing more than one parcel.
