Make meeting time more convenient

Posted August 30, 2009 11:00 pm

On Monday, Aug. 17, the Village of Hoffman Estates held an Ad Hoc Sears Centre Advisory Committee meeting which I attended.

At the meeting several issues were discussed that will affect the residents and employees of the Village of Hoffman Estates. It would appear that the present owners of the Sears Centre will be defaulting on the village-backed $55 million bond issue.

This could result in the village being charged a $90 million liability over the next 20 years. The village has scheduled a committee meeting on this important issue for Sept. 9 at 7 a.m. (morning).

Obviously most residents and interested Village of Hoffman Estates employees will not be able to attend. If you agree, contact the village and explain that you would like it rescheduled for a more convenient time.
