A group of residents plan to object to a 55-year-old and older community being proposed on Homer Township-owned land.
A drawing of single-family homes in a proposed development by Midwest Property Development with Homer Township foor 55 and older housing off Bell Road on former Welton Farm property in Homer Glen.
Before Homer Glen had incorporated as a village, Homer Township voters in April 1999 approved a referendum to issue $8 million in bonds to buy areas across the township as part of its open space plan. About 65% of residents approved the bond sale.To date, the township has purchased about 200 acres, many of which continues to be farmed.
Some residents said they have been blindsided by a potential development and plan to take their concerns to the Homer Glen Village Board on May 25. The land is within village boundaries, which would have to approve any development. The township board voted in April to move forward with the project. Mike Campabello said residents are not against having a 55-year-old and older community, but they are against having the development built on open space land.“The people should have a right to vote on what happens to this property,” Campabello said. “If they want to go through with a development, let’s put a referendum back on the books.”
“We as taxpayers paid for that land 20 years ago,” resident Debbie Laskowski said. “To me what they are trying to do is egregious.”Township officials, however, said they believe the proposal would be a win for area businesses, taxing bodies and senior citizens.
