First 9750 Bond Sale is Set to Go

Update, 5:53 a.m. Tuesday, March 20

Orland Park will soon begin selling bonds to help fund the first development within the , a $60 million luxury apartment complex.

To start off $20 million in bonds will be sold. Barbara Chevalier from Speer Financial suggested Monday night that the board open the bond sale up to a competitive bid. The board could still pick an amount of bonds that would be available for local sale. She also pointed out that the village's high credit ratings and past history with bond sales would make them a sought-after item for buyers.

Brad O'Halloran was the single no vote on the bond sale, but not because he disagreed with the type of sale. He said after the vote that he disagrees with the bond sale as a whole.

Ground breaking for the building will happen 9 a.m. Wednesday.
