Demolition of the long vacant Dominick's in Rolling Meadows has begun

Demolition began this this week on the former Dominick's building in Rolling Meadows in hopes of spurring redevelopment offers on the long-vacant, 11-acre site.

Dominick's left in 2004 and was followed by adjoining small shops in the strip center on Kirchoff Road east of Meadow Drive.

Various proposals to develop the site in recent years have fallen through or been rejected.

Plans are to knock down the building and add grass, while property owner Clark Street Development continues efforts to develop the site.
