Oak Park has developed perhaps the worst reputation in the Chicago region as a location for people who want to redevelop aging village centers. When a neighboring town like Forest Park is so receptive to new projects and tenants, I expect that those who build will soon abandon Oak Park for other locations.
But apparently Pope and his constituants can simply rely on residential taxpayers to cover the lost revenue.
