Chicago Heights New Owner of Former Ace Hardware Plaza
Posted on 2012-05-09 16:39:53 CST
The City will acquire title to the former Ace Hardware Plaza, 150-190 W. Joe Orr Road, following the City Council's approval on Monday of a deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement.
"By doing this deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement, we will completely wipe out the back taxes that are owed," corporation counsel T.J. Somer said. "We'll be able to take it over and market it."
Somer said the property had gone into foreclosure with a bank and the city had liens on the property for boarding it up and performing maintenance.

Chicago Heights Mayor Practices What He Preaches
Posted on 2012-02-21 18:54:45 CST
Though Mayor David Gonzalez's daughter was grandfathered in and wouldn't be affected by the recently passed anti-nepotism ordinance, he asked for her resignation from the City of Chicago Heights after his election.
An anti-nepotism ordinance passed by the Chicago Heights City Council last week is just the formalizing of a policy already observed by Mayor David Gonzalez.
The mayor asked for his own daughter's resignation after he was elected -- a decision that Gonzalez said was easy for him as a public official but tough for him as a father.
The ordinance Gonzalez introduced passed unanimously at a special meeting last week; Seventh Ward Ald. Sylvia Torres was not present at the meeting. Employees already working for the city are unaffected because they are grandfathered in.
