The Village of Orland Park is acting as a bully in running the Orland Plaza out of town. They have no respect for individual rights. Maybe the problem is that they had an ill conceived plan from day one. Initially, if they had no assurances of rights to the Plaza, they should have had alternative plans to bypass the Plaza. It's not the owners fault for poor planning and they should not be penalized for the ignorance of the Village Administration.
The Village needs to be questioned on where the money is coming from for the buyout. If the money is coming from TIF's the State should step in and stop the abuse of the TIF Act. This is not a blighted area. You do not destroy sound businesses and sacrifice millions of dollars of tax revenues for the sake of following an ill conceived plan.
I say, stay and fight. Don't be bullied.
