About this Article

Hanover Park officials are finding that the dilapidated Hanover Square Shopping Center, a highly visible property that the village purchased for $2.8 million last year, is at a crossroads. They're discussing whether to publicly finance its redevelopment or group it with other available properties and solicit private redevelopment on a larger scale.
